Scots Turf Organisers ‘Blown Away’ by Show Success

March 25, 2024/in Events, News, Press Release/by CharmianRobson

Scots Turf Organisers ‘Blown Away’ by Show Success: With over 700 visitors and over 60 companies exhibiting, the second edition of Scots Turf demonstrated substantial growth and has built a platform for an exciting future.

The aim of this show was to build on the success of the previous year by offering more stands and educational opportunities for visitors to explore at Hamilton Park Racecourse. An increase in the number of exhibitors from 16 to 64 ensured a diverse range of products from leading industry names such as Campey Turf Care, AllGrass, Dennis, SIS Pitches, and John Deere.

The growing stand count, set to increase again for the third event, has proven the Scotland’s desire for a dedicated show, and Scots Turf Founding Committee member Richard Heywood is ready to continue the growth.

“It was fantastic to see such a broad selection of visitors from all aspects of our industry, and the feedback we received from everyone we asked was incredibly positive,” he said.

“We were blown away and delighted with the response we received from companies wanting to exhibit. Our target in year two was to attract 30 businesses. In reality, we ended up attracting over 60, with a waiting list of ten more, and I think that shows the positive impact we’re having in Scotland.

“I’d say this is our first proper year as a ‘trade show,’ and we were very much encouraged by seeing over 700 visitors coming through the gates, with around 500 arriving in the first hour.

“It really shows an appetite for something like this in Scotland, and we will be looking to grow year upon year, helping to establish this once again as an event that you need to put in your diary.”

Updates on Scots Turf 2025 will follow throughout the year, including initiatives to support Scottish charitable causes. While demand for stands is high, companies are invited to apply for next year.

Seedball’s seed box collection grows

March 20, 2024/in News, Press Release/by Dani Hawkins

Seedball’s seed box collection grows: Disruptive wildflower gardening company, Seedball, has expanded its existing seed box collection by introducing nine large editions, each containing an impressive 12 seed balls.

With nine options to choose from, including: Common poppy, Cornflower, Oxeye Daisy, and Forget-me-not, alongside Seedball’s most popular seed mixes, Bee Mix, Butterly Mix, Garden Meadow, Annuals Mix, and Shade Mix, there is an option for all garden types and styles. The large boxes are ideal for scattering over spacious beds, covering one square metre each. They’re also perfect for filling to five medium sized pots, great for adding bursts of colour to patios and hanging baskets, while supporting local pollinators.

Multi-award winning, Seedball, created by two conservation scientists, aims to help to fill gardens, balconies and window boxes with native wildflowers, bees and butterflies. Native wildflowers are naturally slow to germinate, and as such, loosely scattered seed can often be eaten by ants, birds and mice. Seedball helps to solve this problem by encasing the seed in a protective ball of clay, peat-free compost and chilli.
