Commenting on the success of the stand this year, Earley Ornamentals managing director Simon Earley said: “The new Earley stand really attracted attention, with enquiries coming in thick and fast, and orders being placed there and then. Our Earley Experts manning the stand agreed it was the best show yet.”

With an extensive product range of high quality stock designed to meet the needs of today's professional growers, over 180m young plants, made up of 1,700 varieties, are grown each year at Earley’s state-of-the-art 12-acre site near Thirsk, North Yorkshire.
