Wider ranging

The show offers the garden and leisure trades a wide-ranging spectrum of products. Comprising twelve different product categories in ten halls, Glee has become an annual centre of attraction for 25 000 visitors and more than 1 700 exhibitors from 86 countries, figures that it is expected will be exceeded this year.
The organisers will be putting a number of new ideas into practice this year. These include two new segments, Sports & Play and Out & About. What is more, the hall layout has been partly updated and the areas showing new products are positioned in prominent new locations. In addition there are numerous interesting seminars and demonstrations on offer. The displays have been colour-coded in order to make it easier for visitors to find their way through the exhibition halls. All the gardening-related areas are coded green (Halls 4 to 9).

Hall 4 is dedicated to Petindex, the only pet fair that is held in Britain. Water gardening is to be found in Hall 4/4A, where 30 firms will be displaying everything required for constructing and caring for a garden pond, together with fountains and other ornamental water features.
