Looking for a great reason to dust off your passport? Mark your calendars: Glee will present their annual buying event for the garden, pet and leisure sectors from Sept. 21 to 23 in Birmingham, U.K. This three-day event will offer seminars, workshops and demonstrations with an entire arena dedicated to garden and leisure retailing.

According to the website, the show features 1,400 exhibitors and draws 22,000 visitors annually. Visitors to the garden section can expect to find areas devoted to nursery, retail services, landscaping, garden care and machinery.

New to this year’s show is a Nursery Merchandising area organized to demonstrate the effectiveness of well-designed merchandising areas. Other features include mock point-of-sale setups, product demonstrations to highlight the potential of plant presentation, and new ideas for merchandising and stocking. Also, look for eco-friendly exhibitors in Glee’s “Going Green Trail.”
