Mr Fothergill's is one of the UK's best-known packet seed brands, with a history of product and merchandising innovation. In 2008 the brand had a dramatic makeover, with new packaging, new sub-ranges and a host of new point of sale ideas and materials, including new euro-hook stands.
Mr Fothergills are delighted to again be part of The Greatest Awards for 2009, sponsoring the Destination Garden Centre of the Year. Last year's event proved to be popular, entertaining and unique. We were particularly impressed by the enthusiasm it generated within the garden centres involved.
