The British are coming to NHS

A dozen British suppliers of garden and leisure products will be exhibiting in the British pavilion at the National Hardware Show in Las Vegas May 4-6.

Newly introduced will be a number of wildlife-friendly items ranging from bird, bat and insect housing to poultry feeders. There will also be new garden tools, seeds and bulbs, vegetable and flower planters, garden buildings, growing structures, garden gifts, barrier mats, solar lighting, outdoor heating and electrical accessories.

The British group has been organized by the Gardenex export federation, and its team will be manning a British garden industry information stand within the pavilion.

The event will be the 20th time that the federation has taken a British exhibitor group to the major annual North American garden and hardware show, which attracts around 27,000 U.S., Canadian and international trade visitors.

The U.S. market for lawn and garden products is the largest in the world, estimated by Garden Media last year at $59 billion.
