The team from GTN are proud once again to be the official media partners for Glee producing the Glee Planner, the Glee Show Catalogue and the Glee Daily News...
Visitors can this year expect a big push from Gardena at Glee as the company has been increasing our brand awareness across the UK.
"To tie in with this we will be launching the GARDENA smart system and the GARDENA city gardening products," says Paul Simpson, UK Account Manager at Gardena.
"It is expected that there will be 25 billion devices connected to the internet by 2020 and all aspects of our lives are becoming more and more automated.
"The GARDENA smart system is innovative and unique and let the consumers control their watering and lawn care from their phones wherever they are.
"With regards to city gardening we all know that urbanization is increasing with 82% of the UK now living in an urban area which has meant that Gardena have now had to come up with some innovative ways to cater for this growing market of balcony and terrace owners.
"One of the products we are launching this year is a Balcony Tool Set which is multi-functional – the dustpan also doubles up as the case for the set as we have the consumer in mind for smaller spaces.
"Our year started slowly up until Easter because of the weather and has been good since then.
"The trends we are seeing in the market are smaller urban gardens, balconies and terraces which is the reason we have invested time and energy into GARDENA city gardening.
"We’re also seeing a huge European trend coming to the UK which is robotic mowers. Even more so the smart home area is also extending into the garden with several Internet of Things solutions coming to the market."
