IOG SALTEX BLOSSOMS WITH LAUNCH OF NURSERY STOCK AREA

In tune with meeting the needs of landscapers and open space professionals, a new Nursery Stock area at this year’s IOG SALTEX show (Windsor racecourse, September 8-10) will enable visitors to browse a vast selection of plants and trees.

Elveden Christmas Trees is just one of the exhibitors in the Nursery Stock area. The company specialises in supplying UKWAS-certified display spruce from 18 to 80 feet high. Able to distribute nationwide, Elveden also offers associated services such as installation, lighting, removal and recycling. Also, site-specific risk assessments are compiled prior to any installation.

Palmstead Nurseries will again be offering its fast off-the-peg plant service using its own transport fleet. It has over one million container capacity and over 200,000 field grown trees available.

Also showing is Gabellini, Rochfords - supplier of hardy nursery stock - Tendercare Nurseries and the Institute of Horticulture. In addition, Practicality Brown will also be on the showground.

IOG SALTEX 2009 will be held on 8-10 September at Windsor Racecourse, Berks, and will embrace fine turf and sports surfaces, turf maintenance equipment, children’s outdoor play and safety surfacing, landscaping, contractors, commercial vehicles, outdoor leisure and facilities management, as well as software and security equipment. The show is attended by open space management professionals and contractors – from groundsmen and greenkeepers through to play officers, architects, designers and surveyors as well as local authority and outdoor leisure facility managers.

Organised by The Institute of Groundsmanship, the first IOG exhibition was staged in 1938, the forerunner to today’s IOG SALTEX Sports, Amenity & Landscape Trade Exhibition. Held annually at Windsor Racecourse, IOG SALTEX is the annual extravaganza for everyone who cares for and/or manages open spaces – including groundsmen, greenkeepers, contractors, local authority and leisure facility managers. The Institute of Groundsmanship (IOG) is the leading membership organisation representing grounds managers, groundsmen, grounds maintenance managers, greenkeepers and all others involved in the management of sports pitches, landscape and amenity facilities in the UK. As well as maintaining the IOG Performance Quality Standards and providing a consultancy service for sports grounds, lawn maintenance and amenity horticulture, the IOG’s extensive Training and Education programme includes cricket, football, tennis, horseracing, bowls, artificial surfaces, turf science and many other specialist subjects.
