These gloves were a huge hit at the NLGS in Chicagoland last month, especially among female buyers, who noted that they not only look good but are made with quality materials that make for comfort and strength when used in the garden. Ethel Gloves offers a model for most applications in the yard. www.ethelgloves.com
 Quick Clean Big Tube bird feeder // Aspects
This large feeder has a 3½-quart capacity and six feeding ports, so there’s room for several birds at once. A huge selling point that had the buyers’ taking note is the Quick-Clean removable base that makes for easy cleaning and filling. The seed tray also is removable with the base. The feeder is available in two distinct finishes and has wide perches that are ideal for cardinals. That’s the red bird in this picture. www.apsects.com
 Heavy-duty gardening tools // Clauss
Clauss offers professional-grade tools that are titanium tough, a benefit that makes them a better fit in upscale garden centers than many conventional tool products. The titanium bonding helps these snips, loppers, pruners, saws and shears stay sharper longer. They simply look superior to what customers find in the big boxes; consequently, buyers at the show were impressed. www.claussco.com
 Grow Big 521 // Grower’s Secret
There were a number of earth-friendly products being touted at the National Lawn & Garden Show. One that continued to spur serious talk among the garden center buyers in attendance was Grow Big 521. The naturally safe, easy-to-use plant enhancement product requires no mixing and promises to deliver faster plant growth, increased flower and fruit production, increased resistance to pests and disease, and increased shelf life of fruits and vegetables. Grow Big 521 concentrate (with Grower’s Secret Pro inside), is a lavender-scented, all-purpose, all-natural fish emulsion fertilizer that comes ready to use on your customer’s organic garden. The formula is refined enough to flow easily through a hose-end sprayer or irrigation system. www.growerssecret.com
