<p><span class="font-size-4">Trade Open Days 20-21 June, 3 - 8pm.</span></p>
<p>Oak End Nursery & Potager has opened, providing top quality herbaceous perennials to garden designers, landscapers and contractors, and the general public. The nursery also offers a garden design service, from whole garden layouts to individual borders, and a planting service.</p>
<p>Oak End founders Liz Apedaile and Liz Robinson both have backgrounds in horticulture and long experience in garden design and landscaping. Together they have worked to create their ideal production nursery and make it a source of inspiration and plantsmanship. “While garden design has been an important part of our working lives,” says Liz Apedaile, “it’s the plants that captured our hearts.” Oak End’s stock includes more than 170 different varieties of perennial plants, ranging from acanthus to verbena, and the nursery can source plants as well.</p>
<p>“Perennials have become increasingly popular,” notes Liz Robinson. “Although many die down in winter, with clever planning, you can always ensure there will be something of interest in the garden – even in the depths of winter, you can create the anticipation of something about to happen.”</p>
<p>Liz Apedaile, PhD studied Agricultural Botany and has worked in garden design since 1988, winning an RHS Bronze medal at Hampton Court Flower Show in 2001. Liz Robinson gained a diploma in garden design at Merrist Wood College in 2000 and set up her own garden design business, winning medals from the Hampton Court Flower Show and Chelsea Flower Show.</p>
<p>In March 2012, they took on a two-acre site in Chalfont St Giles, Buckinghamshire that had been left to nature for 20 years, and transformed it into a welcoming oasis of green and growing space. In the heart of the nursery, Ms Apedaile and Ms Robinson are creating a beautiful potager for the local community, an edible garden where vegetables are cultivated amidst flowers, herbs and fruit to create a lovely fusion of form and function.</p>
<p>Liz Robinson observes, “We are both strong believers in the importance of locally produced food, and our potager is designed to feed the body as well as the soul.”</p>
<p>Oak End Nursery & Potager is located at Lambscroft Farm, Narcot Lane, Chalfont St Giles, Bucks HP8 4DX, tel: (01494) 411 001. Summer opening hours are Tuesday to Friday, 9:00 am-5:00 pm, Saturday and Sunday, 10:00 am-4:00 pm.</p>

</div>BTME to be even BIGGA for 2014https://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profiles/blogs/btme-to-be-even-bigga-for-20142013-04-28T08:16:51.000Z2013-04-28T08:16:51.000ZLandscape Juicehttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profil/LandscapeJuice<div><p>Following the success of last year’s show BIGGA are gearing up for a huge BTME 2014, as it returns to a four hall exhibition with the world’s major machinery manufacturers preparing to head to Harrogate.</p>
<p>The Harrogate International Centre is sure to be bustling next January with the likes of John Deere, Toro and Ransomes Jacobsen joining Kubota, RECO and New Holland at BTME 2014.</p>
<p>Many of last year’s happy exhibitors are also returning with many increasing their stand space. After a surge of early bookings over 85% of stands are already reserved with eager companies determined to showcase their latest products. BIGGA are pleased to welcome a whole host of returning exhibitors including Baroness Mowers, Campey Turf Care Systems, Syngenta, Everris plus dozens more.</p>
<p>Jim Croxton, CEO of BIGGA, said: “We’re delighted that the exhibition will once again feature four halls. This will allow us to both increase the number of exhibitors and attract even more visitors from all corners of the turf management industry.</p>
<p>“I’m particularly encouraged by the number of exhibitors who have already rebooked after last year’s show. Many have also increased their stand space which is a reflection of how they see BTME as the place to meet potential customers and do business.”</p>
<p>Discussing the success of BTME 2013, Croxton continued: “This will be BTME’s 25th year and it’s becoming increasingly popular. The feedback we’ve received from exhibitors, buyers and guests has been extremely positive and we anticipate that returning to four halls next year will extend its appeal even further. It’s a very exciting time for everybody involved.”</p>
<p>Europe’s leading turf care exhibition – which next year begins on Tuesday 21 January at the Harrogate International Centre - showcases market leaders from all sectors of the turf industry, including artificial grass, course furniture, drainage, fertilisers and top of the range machinery, to name just a few of the highlights.</p>
<p>BTME 2014 will also boast a terrific educational programme, with the extremely popular Turf Managers’ Conference again returning to the week when the industry converges on Harrogate. There will also be more workshops and seminars through the superb ‘Continue to Learn’ programme with a terrific range of knowledgeable and passionate presenters – keep an eye out for the confirmed speakers over the coming months.</p>
<p>BIGGA is urging anyone looking to reserve a stand to call now to avoid disappointment. There is still limited space remaining and places are being taken quickly. For your opportunity to exhibit at next year’s BTME, contact Jill Rodham or Matt Wignall on 01347 833812 or 01347 833832.</p>

As part of this, Glee, along with all other Emap Connect shows, has appointed Melville Exhibition and Event Services Limited as preferred contractor to help drive down exhibiting costs for all exhibitors. Effective from April 2010, this savings and service initiatives will include a cost reduction to all exhibitors of 10% in electrical fittings and mains (at today's prices), the introduction of early-bird discounts for all shell accessories and an exhibitor loyalty/discount card. A new joint customer services programme will give exhibitors a seamless run up to organising their presence at the event. This is in line with already existing schemes introduced by Glee. For the second year running prices will be held, meaning that no exhibitor will experience a rise in their price per square metre, in fact the vast majority will be paying less. In order to achieve this, a new discounted price structure has been applied in order to reward loyalty and volume. Lapsed customers will also still qualify for loyalty discounts as their price will reflect their previous history with Glee. Glee show director, Daniel Thurlow, said: “These new initiatives have been introduced to reflect the fact that we are dedicated to drawing critical mass, absent brands and even more innovation back to Glee, to ensure that we continue to offer something that cannot be seen anywhere else. By delivering such cost effective solutions to all our exhibitors we believe that Glee can further cement its position as the most profitable three days within the garden and leisure calendar, and we look forward to developing our offering further over the coming months. “We’d also like to thank Melville for their continued support and are delighted to confirm our ongoing relationship with them. Both Emap and Melville recognise the importance of delivering the best possible value and return on investment to our exhibitors, and have no doubt that our new pricing structure, as supported by the expertise of Melville, will be a benefit to all.“ Glee exhibitors will also be able to benefit from additional added value initiatives that have been designed to ensure that all exhibitors can tap into a rich resource of market expertise and advice. Glee’s dedicated marketing and PR teams are available to help maximise promotional activities and boost profile in the lead up to, during and after the show. Glee will also be expanding on the introductory scheme initiated in 2009 with GIMA. The pre-show marketing workshops have been designed to help all exhibitors prepare and to maximise the opportunities associated with participating at the show, plus information and advice on support facilities available to them.
