Celebrating 20 Years of the Garden Press Event with Hortiwool
This year marked a very special milestone - the 20th anniversary of the Garden Press Event and Hortiwool was thrilled to be part of the celebrations. It was an incredible opportunity to meet so many amazing people from across the gardening community, including writers, journalists, influencers, and authors.
We had some truly inspiring conversations over the course of the event, sharing ideas, experiences, and the passion we all have for gardening. It was a wonderful reminder of how connected and creative this community is, and we left the event feeling energised and motivated for the year ahead. One of the highlights for us was discussing the many ways we can be collaborating with fellow gardening enthusiasts to bring fresh ideas and sustainable practices to gardens everywhere.

Sustainable Gardening
A real theme of the Garden Press Event this year was sustainable gardening. From innovative planting techniques to eco-conscious products.
We were delighted to see that what we are so passionate about at Hortiwool - helping gardeners grow in a sustainable and environmentally conscious way - is being embraced and celebrated throughout the industry.
Our Hortiwool Garden Pads were a particular talking point for many visitors, with people curious about how these natural wool products can support moisture retention, suppress weeds, and protect emerging growth.
It was fantastic to explain how our pads can help gardeners create healthier, more resilient gardens while reducing reliance on synthetic materials. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and it’s always rewarding to see people excited about practical solutions that also care for the planet.
Looking forward to some exciting Collaborations

Beyond products, the Garden Press Event offered a brilliant space for us to explore new ways of collaborating.
We met people working on books, blogs, articles, and social media content, and the conversations sparked ideas for partnerships, features, and projects that we can bring to life together this year. Whether it’s providing tips on using wool in the garden, showcasing sustainable products, or sharing inspiring gardening stories, the potential for collaboration feels limitless.
If we didn’t get the chance to see you at the Garden Press Event, we’d love to hear from you! Send us an email, and we can talk about how we can work together in 2026. Whether you’re a writer, influencer, or gardening enthusiast, there are plenty of opportunities for us to share knowledge, collaborate on exciting projects, and help more people enjoy the benefits of sustainable gardening.
The 20th anniversary of the Garden Press Event was a wonderful celebration of everything that makes the gardening world so vibrant and innovative.
We’re grateful for every conversation, every connection, and every spark of inspiration that came from this event. We’re looking forward to continuing to support sustainable gardening, share our expertise, and work closely with the amazing community we are proud to be part of.
Here’s to a year of growth, innovation, and collaborating with the brilliant people we met at the Garden Press Event and with many more yet to come!
