The Garden Industry Manufacturers' Association (GIMA) will announce the winner of its £5,000 Innovators' Seed Corn Fund at next week's Glee.
The fund was launched earlier this year to encourage new businesses, designers and innovators to enter the market. The winner is to receive funding and help with the development and marketing of their product, together with support from experts within the industry.

The identity of the recipient of the award, as well as four runners-up, will be revealed at the garden industry show on Sunday September 14 at 11:30am on GIMA's stand F40 in Hall 20.

GIMA director Vicky Nuttall said: "The Innovators' Seed Corn Fund very much captured the attention of a wide range of designers and innovators, drawing entries from all corners of the UK.

"Choosing the winner was a very hard decision to make as the calibre of entries was so strong, but ultimately we chose the company that demonstrated true innovation, with a product that addresses a common garden task in a completely new way."
