Glee Winners

Tesselaar International wanted to celebrate the achievements at Glee 2009 with you, the biggest garden trade exhibition in the UK.

More than 250 entries were received for the 2009 Glee New Products Awards. In the nursery innovations category, Wyevale Nurseries was shortlisted for its Cortadetra Peate Plumes, along with John Woods Nurseries’ Hydrangea Twist n Shout and Diervilla Cool Splash. John Woods Nurseries won the award for its Coprosma Pacific Sunset, and judges Mike Burks, from Castle Gardens and David Curtis, editor of The Landscaper said: ‘The Coprosma offers really extraordinary colours. It’s also an evergreen so it offers two points of interest in the same plant. This is a must for all gardens and container planting.’


The Coprosma also impressed the judges of the Best of British Innovation category, Neil Gow, Director of GIMA and television gardener David Domoney, who added: ‘A British grown plant with unique and interesting foliage that is hardy and colourful all year round.’

In the home and gift innovation category, Taylors Bulbs was shortlisted for its Windowsill Herb Pot, and the winner of the Green Innovation award was The Master Herbalist: Seedbed Roll.
