The first year of any show is an unknown quantity, but expectations of the new Hard Landscaping Show are high among its organisers and visitors. Despite the impact the harsh weather conditions have had on slowing work over the past couple of months, pre-reg-istration stats for the exhibition - to be held at Coventry's Ricoh Arena on 24-25 March - are looking good, according to organisers Marwood Events. Events director Steven Callaghan said he was "extremely pleased" with the visitors registered so far. "Landscap-ers in large numbers, award-winning designers, landscape architects, garden retail outlets, builders merchants, landscaping academics and paving companies have pre-registered," he explained.
