Following the success of last years Summer Festival, S&G Flowers will be holding another event at its head office in Halsall, Lancashire this summer (June 18-24).

By having dedicated trials in the UK, the festival offers growers and retailers the opportunity to visit S&G flower trials within the day, without the need for overseas travel.

Visitors can expect to see a showcase of new introductions for 2008 presented in pots, packs, hanging baskets and containers, some with marketing ideas, according to the firm.

There will be indoor and outdoor gardens, highlighting ideas for planting schemes, along with new and exciting combinations using the latest introductions. In a new area of the trials a famous celebrity’s face will also be planted out with Delta pansies in a 20x25m bed.

The retail expansion area has been developed to contain displays including Basket Beauties, Pelargonium Fidelity, Impatiens Spellbound, Pronto Perennials, the new Do it Delta family and Natures Friends.
