BUYERS GUIDE & NEW PRODUCT DIGEST WHAT’S NEW FOR 2026 A valuable reference for the UK garden trade

INTRODUCTION

A Message from the GIMA President. GIMA Buyers Guide & New Product Digest 2026 As another season comes to an end and we look ahead to a new year of opportunity, I find myself reflecting on how far our industry has come and how proud I am to be part of it. This edition of the GIMA Buyers Guide & New Product Digest not only showcases the very best in garden retail innovation for 2026, but also captures the remarkable spirit that defines our community.

Over the past few years, we’ve all had to adapt to a world that feels anything but predictable. Whether it’s shifting consumer behaviours, supply chain challenges, or the ongoing effects of climate change, “business as usual” has become a thing of the past. Yet, time and again, our industry has risen to the challenge, resilient, creative, and full of optimism. Garden retail doesn’t just survive change; it thrives on it.

This year’s Guide is a testament to that resilience. Within these pages you’ll find inspiring new products, trusted favourites, and fresh ideas that reflect a sector full of innovation and energy. You’ll see how brands continue to evolve, embracing sustainability, digital engagement, and design thinking to meet the needs of

heart of why what we do matters.

modern consumers. It’s proof that our industry never stands still.

For me personally, this edition is a special one. As I’m now in my final year as GIMA President, I feel immense gratitude for the people who make this industry so vibrant; our members, our partners, and the dedicated teams behind every product, display, and idea featured here. It’s your passion and collaboration that drive GIMA forward and keep our industry at the forefront of retail innovation.

I’m also continually inspired by the positive impact gardening has on wellbeing. It connects us to nature, to our communities, and to ourselves. In a world that often feels uncertain, gardening offers something deeply grounding and restorative. That connection is at the

As I look to the year ahead, I’m excited by the direction in which garden retail is moving. We’re seeing garden centres evolve into dynamic lifestyle destinations, welcoming new audiences and offering experiences the high street can only dream of. And with initiatives like the GIMA Innovators Seed Corn Award, we’re nurturing the next generation of talent and ideas that will carry us confidently into the future.

So, as you turn these pages, I hope you feel as inspired as I do. This Guide is more than a showcase, it’s a celebration of progress, creativity, and community.

Thank you for allowing me the privilege of serving as your President. It’s been an honour to represent such an extraordinary industry, and I look forward to sharing an exciting and successful final year with you all.

Here’s to a bright, innovative, and prosperous 2026!

AUTO-POT

Khloris Watering Systems

Want to grow stunning, long-living, diverse houseplants with ease? The kind of eye-catching varieties that can transform even a small indoor or balcony space into an other-worldly green haven? Khloris can help you do all this, and more.

This brand new automatic plant watering system from AutoPot is the first of its kind to be designed for living rooms, balconies, and conservatories, combining a tasteful, sculpted, interiorfriendly aesthetic with highly effective, easy-to-use irrigation technology.

What do we mean by ‘the first of its kind’? We mean the system operates automatically but 100% power-free, requiring no electricity whatsoever. It needs no mains water pressure making it stress free to set up and leave unattended. And unlike any other watering system it is fully-responsive to plant needs.

Uniquely, Khloris irrigates and feeds only in response to uptake - exactly matching supply to demand, for phenomenal results every time. This RHS endorsed system not only puts an end to hand watering, it actually gives plants full control of their own irrigation - they can draw what they need, when they need it, and thrive.

The system performs brilliantly with all varieties and is especially adept at handling houseplants and orchids. These can have sensitive and wildly differing needs, so keeping on top of regular-but-not-excessive watering can be a bit of a challenge if you’re irrigating by hand.

Khloris allows you to forget such issues altogether, as watering is automatic and each plant in the system controls its own rate of irrigation according to its individual requirements.

Available early 2026 in copper, metallic sage, or blackberry, each Khloris system includes two pots equipped with water control devices, a reservoir and all the colour-coordinated pipe and fittings required to create the ideal layout for any space.

Also coming soon - Khloris extension modules, which allow you to run a total of four pots from each reservoir.

The Unsung Heroes of Retail When customers walk into your garden centre, their first decision isn’t about promotions or displays. It’s about whether they pick up a basket or a trolley. That simple choice shapes their entire shopping experience. A smooth, easy-to-use trolley or a sturdy, clean basket creates confidence, comfort, and freedom to browse. A squeaky wheel or rusty handle does the opposite—it frustrates customers, shortens their stay, and cuts into your sales.

Trolleys and baskets may seem like small details, but they are powerful tools in your stores not to be overlooked. They influence how long customers stay, how much they buy, and how they feel about your brand. In fact, poor-quality or unavailable equipment can directlyy limit basket size,, alienate customers with mobilityy ff, f reliable trolleys meaan needs, and even pose safety risks. For staff er fewer complaints, less time spent chasing equipment, and highe morale. For businesses, they mean smoother operations, better customer loyalty, and stronger profitability.

At Formbar, we specialise in helping garden centres invest in quality that is built to last. Our trolleys and baskets are designed for durability, comfort, and sustainability—with recycled materials, spare parts for easy maintenance, and service support that extends their life. From lightweight customer favourites to accessible family trolleys, we provide solutions that show care for your shoppers and your staff. To make it even easier, we offer free trials of selected trolley models, so you can test them in-store before committing.

We’ve also expanded our portfolio with a new loss prevention range. From entrance gates and customer flow systems to secure cabinets, these solutions improve shopper experience while reducing shrinkage. To ensure the right fit, we provide free site surveys and create tailored proposals with the best products for your centre.

Because when shopping is easy, people buy more. And when customers feel looked after, they always come back.

Lightweight, easy to handle, and completely chemical-free, Hortiwool offers gardeners a smarter, greener alternative to synthetic materials. Each pad is made using 100% British wool, supporting UK farmers and celebrating a sustainable resource that’s as kind to the environment as it is effective in the garden.

By combining Tetraploid Perennial Ryegrass, Red Fescue and Microclover®, Ace Lawn creates a hard-wearing, multipurpose lawn that looks stunning while working harder behind the scenes.

At the heart of the mix is Microclover® – a specially developed, tiny-leaved white clover that integrates seamlessly with grass to produce a smooth, traditional-looking lawn with added benefits.

Its natural ability to fix nitrogen into the soil means Ace Lawn reduces the need for fertiliser applications, offering both environmental and cost-saving advantages.

Designed to be durable, Ace Lawn is ideal for family gardens and high-traffic areas where performance matters as much as appearance. The Tetraploid Ryegrass provides fast establishment and strength, while the Red Fescue delivers fine texture and density. The result is a robust, versatile sward that thrives in a wide range of conditions.

Ace Lawn also supports biodiversity. By leaving areas unmown and allowing the Microclover® to flower, lawns can provide vital food for pollinators such as bees and butterflies Johnsons www.johnsonslawnseed.com | info@johnsonslawnseed.co.uk (01386) 791113 30

MEADOW VIEW STONE

Mediterranean Style Leads the Way for 2026 Garden Trends As 2026 approaches, gardeners and buyers are moving beyond simply watching trends to making more thoughtful, data-driven choices. Industry insights and Google search data confirm a strong shift toward Mediterranean-style gardens, with Houzz reporting a 200% year-on-year increase in interest.

Warm tones, natural textures, and sun-soaked inspiration are no longer just holiday inspiration — they’re shaping the future of everyday garden design.

For Meadow View Stone, this is more than a trend — it’s an opportunity to innovate. At Glee, the company unveiled its new Mediterranean-inspired Display Garden vinyl, creating an inspiring backdrop for two exciting new products: Spanish Gold Chippings, featuring uplifting golden hues, and Slender Feature Stones, both perfectly capturing the relaxed, natural elegance of the Mediterranean look.

Also new for 2025 are Promotional Packs, designed to help retailers drive volume with sharp pricing and tailored offers.

These eye-catching packs feature seven best-selling lines and provide easy merchandising solutions for both seasonal promotions and consistent year-round sales — ensuring value-conscious customers always find what they’re looking for.

Beyond style, the group continues to champion sustainability. Parent company Long Rake Spar recently scooped The Sustainability and Biodiversity Award at the Pro Landscaper Awards, recognising its ongoing environmental

commitment. In 2025 alone, the group’s efforts equated to a carbon reduction equivalent to planting nearly 5,000 trees and saving 36.75 tonnes of coal. Sustainability is now embedded in every product promise — because today, new must also mean better, cleaner, and kinder to our planet.

For garden centres preparing for 2026, the direction is clear: embrace the Mediterranean trend. Create displays that celebrate its sun-drenched charm and let these products tell a story of warmth, relaxation, and style. Combine this with smart, value-driven promotions to capture every customer — from the design enthusiast to the price-conscious buyer.

ROCKETGRO

Rocketing Success!

RocketGro are very proud of our Organic Approved Compost range. We utilise a rich natural substrate from our farm in Somerset, that we have in abundance from the green energy production facility that powers 11,000 nearby homes. We blend a small amount of that with 7 other ingredients and mature that compost on a nearby airfield which we have purchased. This carefully managed process takes 9 months to take our compost to a point that it looks and feels like Peat.

Great results come from using a quality Peat-Free Compost. Every year our compost blends get better and better. The introduction this year of two (from 1) Organic Fertiliser Superfoods which we add to the compost at bagging has made a huge difference.

For 2026 we have launched a new Organic Approved Granule Fertiliser product. With vibrant packaging and a

customer friendly look and feel, we have taken our exciting brand to the next stage of its growth and development.

The new fertiliser product is an excellent linked sale to the RocketGro best-selling Multi-Purpose 50L Compost.

Our British, Sustainable, Eco-Story, Low Carbon, Organic credentials, proven sales data, excellent price point, and fantastic service levels even in peak season with full load deliveries of only 5 working days post order received, surely begs the question: Why wouldn’t a retailer stock RocketGro products?!

RocketGro goes from strength to strength. We bring to garden centres what customers want to align themselves with. Great product, an aspirational brand, great values, soil loving, Somerset Organic Approved British Goodness.

We are not a big corporate. We are RocketGro.

VITAVIA

Complete the Growing Journey for Your Customers When customers walk into a garden centre, they’re looking for inspiration as much as they are for products. They come for seeds, soil, tools, pots, and plants, but too often, their journey stops short of the one product that can transform their growing experience: a greenhouse. By stocking greenhouses, garden centres can complete that journey and unlock a new stream of profitable, year-round sales.

Growing outside leaves crops at the mercy of unpredictable British weather. A greenhouse, however, creates its own microclimate, extending the growing season well beyond what’s possible outdoors. For the gardener, this means more success and more satisfaction. For the garden centre, it means customers return for longer, buying more products across more months of the year. It’s a clear win-win.

Vitavia is a family-run company based in Suffolk, the British partner of the Vitavia Group, Europe’s leading name in quality hobby greenhouses and accessories.

Known for their value for money and exceptional service, Vitavia greenhouses are widely regarded as the most reliable choice for gardeners across the UK. Vitavia is also the exclusive UK distributor for Janssens, the Belgium brand celebrated for its stylish, high-end greenhouses and garden rooms. Together, the two ranges cover every customer, from the first-time hobby grower to the designconscious enthusiast.

A common misconception is that greenhouses take up too much floor space in a garden centre. In reality, displaying just three models—6x4, 6x8, and 8x10 creates an attractive showcase while driving high-value sales. Greenhouses also double as excellent display spaces for plants, pots, and accessories, further boosting their value in-store.

For garden centres looking to extend sales seasons, increase margins, and strengthen customer loyalty, stocking Vitavia and Janssens greenhouses is an investment that grows.

VITAX

Vitax expands its easy choice range for 2026 Vitax has expanded its ‘easy choice’ range by adding two showstopping products for next season as the demand for tailored, plant-specific feeds continue to grow.

A market first and following last year’s successful launch of Vitax Liquid Dahlia Feed, Vitax is adding to its increasingly popular pouch range with Vitax Organic Dahlia Feed and liquid feed range with Vitax Liquid Clematis & Climber Feed.

Vitax Organic Dahlia Feed On-trend, stylish and unrivalled for giving a dazzling display of billowing blooms from early summer through to autumn, dahlias are the showstoppers of the late summer garden.

With a huge variety of flower shapes and colours to choose from, Vitax’s new feed will provide all the essential nutrients to boost growth in dahlia tubers right through to flowering.

Vitax Organic Dahlia Feed contains a specialised mix of nutrients designed to see them blossom, encouraging

striking colour and rich healthy foliage.

The feed can be used with both tubers and plants. Simply add to the base of the hole before adding the tuber or add to the growing media when planting bedding dahlias. If the tubers are left in the ground over the colder months, lightly hoe into the soil in early spring.

Vitax Liquid Clematis & Climber Feed From their vivid foliage to the delicate scent that attracts pollinators, clematis – the ‘Queen of Climbers,’ alongside jasmine, honeysuckle and wisteria, bring gardens to life delivering stunning displays of colour.

Clematis and climbing plants are hungry plants and Vitax’s new feed is designed to encourage prolific flowering and brighter blooms.

Enriched with organic nutrients, the

feed will help to boost plant growth, strengthen root development, and support overall plant health.

The perfect match Both feeds are perfect for gardeners who want to ensure they are providing plant-specific nutrients to encourage strong, healthy growth, and ideal for garden centres and nurseries looking for weatherproof packaged feeds that can be displayed directly next to plants for that linked-sale opportunity.

Both products are available to order now.

At the heart of PureGreen™ is Westland’s proprietary variety, West Green, which has been developed following extensive research in UK and Irish domestic gardens. West Green is a revolutionary new grass seed that offers varietal excellence to deliver a dense, deep green lawn, with all the beauty and resilience modern gardeners demand.

The Next Generation in Lawn Seed PureGreen™ is a carefully balanced mix of Westland’s, West Green, plus market-leading varieties of creeping red fescue, chewings fescue, and perennial ryegrass. These high-grade varieties have been selected specifically for UK and Irish climates and soils to deliver dense, fine-bladed, deep green lawns, that naturally suppress weeds through thick growth for an immaculate finish.

Truly a seed for all seasons, Westland’s new lawn seed features seasonally adaptive varieties that thrive year-round; growing quickly in spring, deep rooted and drought-tolerant to stay green and dense through summer, with an ultra-fine leaf blade for a close-knit lawn that naturally crowds out weeds in autumn, as well as withstanding cold winters that prevent bare patches where moss could take hold.

Premium Treatment Technology Each seed is fully treated with an advanced treatment that includes: • Mycorrhizal fungi and nitrogen-fixing bacteria to encourage improved germination, rapid root development and better nutrient uptake • Seaweed extract and micronutrients to stimulate early establishment, even in cold temperatures • A natural green treatment that deters birds to protect seeds from being eaten, while also providing a strong visual effect when sowing.

George Pitcher, Brand Manager for Lawn, at Westland, commented: “Westland’s new PureGreen™ lawn seed is designed for the committed home gardener – a growing segment of consumers who seek long-lasting lawn perfection. This customer understands the difference between annual and perennial varieties, appreciates the science behind the formulation, and is looking for products that deliver visibly stunning results.”

Ideal for Creating a Stand-Out Lawn Range With its sleek branding and performance-led messaging, Westland PureGreen™ will elevate any lawn care fixture, offering an aspirational product that complements the full Westland lawn care range. It provides a perfect up-sell opportunity for customers looking to create their best ever lawn.

To further encourage sales in store, Westland has developed a new impactful DQP display unit for PureGreen, educating shoppers on the excellence of this new blend and demonstrating the depth of the root system to deliver a drought tolerant, deep green lawn.
