The winner was announced at the Green Inspiration Event on Thursday 11 June in Bleiswijk (NL). This brand new networking event is organised by the Dutch media agency TuinbouwCommunicatie in cooperation with Fleuroselect.

NightSky, the rising star in garden centers
NightSky's white spots on the dark violet flowers look like an ever-changing star constellation. This cutting-raised newcomer is easy to grow and transport thanks to its semi-trailing plant habit. NightSky flowers very early and impresses with excellent branching.

TuinbouwCommunicatie offers an advertising campaign worth EUR 3000; Pull Position presents a tailor made promotion project at retail level worth EUR 1500.
