Show stoppers!

Here's a sneak peek at the products you'll soon see on the trade show floors.

1. Balcony Pot Planters // Greenbo
New Zealand-based Greenbo created these clever balcony pot planters that provide a unique solution for growing plants and flowers in an urban environment. They fit all railing shapes and sizes (up to 8.5 cm/4 inches) and are made of a high-quality polypropylene material, with increased strength and drop resistance. These unique containers contain a UV ingredient that protects against sun and weather damage, thus ensuring the color lasts for years. They are distributed in the U.S. by GreenDzigns, www.greenDzigns.com


2. Egglings // Tsutoma Iseya
These simple little eggs are made from pure white porcelain and filled with a growing medium and seeds. Crack the egg with a spoon—just like the edible kind—then water and place in a warm, light place. Within a few days, up pops a plant! It will keep growing in the egg for up to three months, at which time you can, if you wish, transplant it to a larger pot and continue growing. www.eggling.com

 
3.Scotts Songbird Selections, Regional Wild Bird Blends // Scotts Miracle-Gro Co.
The new Regional Wild Bird Blends from Scotts Miracle-Gro offer a custom-tailored product for birding aficionados. The specially developed formulas attract unique regional favorites, such as purple finch in the Northeast and the lazuli bunting in the Southwest. Each selection is available in three sizes and is packaged in a stand-up, re-sealable bag, which features a new and improved press-to-close top—making storage a cinch for customers.www.scottswildbirdfood.com


4. Grimm planters // Bysteel
Resembling a Chinese take-out container, the witty Grimm planter makes a good conversation starter for your customer’s garden or terrace. Designed by Georgia Brusemini, the matte-white lacquered aluminum planter is available with either four or nine containers—so your customers can choose some plants from column A and others from column B. www.bysteel.it.
