Plan now for next Summer

摘要

The European pack trial circuit gives retailers and their suppliers a chance to preview what's in store for the years to come. Peter Dawson took to the road in search of the best of the new and in his first report looks at petunias, impatiens and geraniums. Additional reporting by Andrew Eames. The annual European pack trial ritual during the first week in May provides a foretaste of what's in store for the following year and beyond. Growers, supermarkets, do-it-yourself superstores and the seed trade follow each other around Holland, some even venture into Germany, but where we the independent garden centres? Nowhere to be seen.
