Designed to ensure garden centre owners and industry professionals can engage with the latest industry trends, discover fresh inspiration, the new Glee Roadshow is set to start in the Southwest at Monkton Elm Garden Centre, Taunton on the 1st of April 2025. The event will provide network opportunities, food demonstrations and presentations by Boyd Douglas-Davis and other guests.

The roadshow will also feature a so called, interactive fishbowl panel discussion entitled ‘Navigating Budget Cuts: How Garden Centres Are Planning for Growth’ for retailers to share experiences and gain insights into overcoming financial challenges for business success. Further sessions will be held to enhance customer experience, increase footfall, and strengthen connections with local communities.

Matthew Mein, Glee Event Director, said: “As Glee continues to support and inspire the garden retail community, our nationwide roadshow marks an exciting new chapter in our mission to unite the industry. We understand that garden centre owners and buyers are busy preparing for the season ahead, so we’re bringing Glee directly to them – making it easier than ever to be part of the conversation. With a superb schedule of content, we’ll tackle the industry’s biggest challenges head-on, equipping attendees with practical, proven solutions they can implement straight away.”

Two further roadshow locations will be announced in the soon. Attendance is free, but early registration is encouraged.
