The vibe at FlowerTrials® could not have been more positive is the conclusion shared by both exhibitor and visitor! After a gap of 3 years everyone who has business in pot and bedding plants and was able to travel visited FlowerTrials® to see the latest developments in ornamental breeding, glean information on new commercial opportunities and meet with each other!
Worldwide visitors
An overview of the visitors reveals that except from countries were local conditions make it currently impossible, the world found its way to FlowerTrials®. From Australia to Brazil and from Vietnam to Zimbabwe, visitors signed in from no less than 89 countries, 30% more than in 2019, reaffirming that FlowerTrials® truly is an international event.
Gill Corless Marketing Manager at exhibitor Sakata and FlowerTrials® Chairman: “I am delighted by the enthusiasm, the vibe and the sheer pleasure shown by both participants and visitors this week. Everyone was simply happy to be meeting the plants and each other at FlowerTrials®. Old friendships were rekindled, new connections made. While our world is still dealing with exceptional challenges evident by the friends that we inevitably missed, those fortunate enough to travel celebrated the opportunity to be together and see the latest developments in pot and bedding plant breeding. On behalf of the organisation, I thank you all and l look forward to welcoming you again next year.”
