Celebrations all round

Numerous garden centre buyers attending Harrogate Christmas & Gift were celebrating yesterday following the announcement of the winners of the Greatest Christmas Awards on Sunday night. Organised by Garden Trade News, the event took place at the Majestic Hotel and entertainment was enjoyed by all. Premier Decorations, which is exhibiting in Hall H, was once again voted the Greatest Supplier of 2016, closely followed by Kaemingk (Stand M2) and Noma (Stand A9 and A22). A full list of winners can be seen HERE.

Again there was lots to see at the show yesterday with some fabulous new products attracting attention. Bonnington’s Kingfisher Festive range on Stand B4 includes incredibly cute gingerbread characters including Santa’s sacks, cushions and large and small plush characters.

Those catering for animal lovers should head for the Country Matters Stand B36 with a fabulous range of products from dinner sets, coasters and trays; cushions and blankets; and even umbrellas all printed with favourite dog breeds and animals from the countryside. In addition, those seeking highly collectable gift ranges mustn’t miss Vivid Art’s Stand QS1 with replicas of almost every animal on the planet, plus its best selling Miniature World with enchanting fairies and elves, mushroom houses and even dragons.

Culinary Concepts on Stand KS2 is new to the show this year and has an absolutely gorgeous collection of products from stunning silver and glass candle holders to hanging decorations and wine coolers. Whilst visiting the Kings Suite, also check out the Great British Card Company with some fabulous new greeting cards designs for 2017.

If you are visiting the show today, the doors are open from 9am to 6pm and don’t forget to pop into Hall Q for a free cup of tea or coffee from the tuk tuk cart.
