I received advance warning of this year's event in the post this week. Had a look round in 2004 & met Tony there in 2005. Even for a DIY'er, it's worth a visit just to get some ideas.
I'll be there, as usual, and for all three days - it takes me that long to get around to see everyone!
All the garden centre stuff annoys me, but it's still the most important show of the year for the residential hard-landscaping business. You have to learn to see beyond the pots, the bloody awful statuary, and the others illiness, and focus on the new paving products. I've already been shown two or three that will be officially launched at GLEE, and one in particular is very, very interesting, but, of course, I'm sworn to secrecy until September!
