Top names from the industry will take part in the judging at Garden Organic, Ryton on June 4.
The panel includes B&Q's head of horticulture Steve Guy, representatives from Tesco, GCA chairman and md of Raglan Garden Centre Martin Davies, Stax purchasing director Simon Wright, director of the Chartered Institute of Buying Roger Foster, Wayne Plant from Trelawney Garden Centre, Llyod Taylor from Wilkinsons and Scotsdale Garden Centre gardencare buyer Sally Spicer.
DLF Trifolium's head of retail sales Spencer Goodall said: "Just getting your product under the noses of the judging panel is worth entering alone. They are some influential people - many of them buyers, and you wind p with listings as a result of entering - wining is the bonus."
