This September, Source Garden, the gardening industry’s newest responsible sourcing event in Europe, will make its debut. The new show, which runs concurrently with Glee from September 10–12 at the NEC Birmingham, is a special platform for sourcing where global responsible manufacturers come together with retailers, garden centers, brands, and contractors who are interested in finding new suppliers and private label opportunities.
The greatest ethically sourced garden products will be offered by Source Garden, which also claims to be the ideal place to network with potential new suppliers. Visitors can discover fresh concepts and inspiration that support fair trade and ecologically responsible practices in a variety of areas, including supply chain services, garden tools, pets, and outdoor entertainment.
