The Garden Press Event 2026 - should I go?

Monday 19th January, 6.30pm on Zoom

Did you know there’s a place where the garden media gather every year to discover the coming season’s trends and top new products, as well as previewing events, making contacts and generating great content ideas?

The Garden Press Event is a free, one-day extravaganza at the Business Design Centre in Islington, where media and brands meet to kick off the horticultural year.

It’s a great opportunity for creators to gather material and ideas, and for companies to launch new products or to show off firm favourites - they’re there specifically to connect with all kinds of media, including journalists, broadcasters, freelance writers, bloggers, vloggers and influencers.

Come for the biscuits and the chat (available at the GMG stand!), leave with a diary full of new contacts, a phone full of photos and a tote bag full of samples.

To find out more about the Garden Press Event, join us on 19th January at 6.30pm on Zoom to hear from Vicky Nuttall, Director of organisers GIMA (The Garden Industry Manufacturer's Association) about what to expect at this year’s event, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2026.
