Scotts Miracle-Gro Wins RHS Chelsea 09 Award

18th May 2009, by Dan Walford

The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company is proud to announce that they have won ‘The Certificate of Merit’ for the outstanding presentation of their stand at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2009. This is the 2nd year running in which they have achieved this success!

The ‘It’s Gro Time’ initiative is the theme for our garden exhibit at the Chelsea Flower Show 2009. We are exhibiting grow your own vegetables, grow your own fruit, and containers full of flowers to promote our range of garden care aids.

Part of the stand shows how to ‘Gro Your Own Pizza’ with displayed examples and leaflets to show everyone that they too can grow a great crop of tomatoes, sweet peppers, chillies and herbs using a Tomorite Giant Planter with Seaweed and Tomorite Liquid Concentrate Plant Food. A similar area entitled ‘Gro Your Own Sunday Roast’ shows how to grow potatoes, carrots and other vegetables on patios, balconies or other hard standing thanks to the growing abilities of the new Gro Your Own gro-sac for potatoes and root vegetables. Decorative flowers are not ignored and a separate area of container-grown bedding plants and shrubs provides a beautiful display of blooms to delight visitors.

An unusual pyramid-shaped lawn provides a visual surprise that challenges the way visitors view a thick, green lawn. The unique 3-dimensional lawn is used to highlight the new products that have been launched this year, including Mow It Less Lawn Food and brand-leader Complete.

Head of Marketing at Scotts, Paula Parker said, “Showing new techniques for grow your own will ensure we attract a huge crowd to the stand to pick up our informative ‘It’s Gro Time’ leaflets. We are also featuring home fruit growing and will show raspberries climbing vertical surfaces and strawberries in our unique Organic Blend Strawberry Giant Planter.”
