CHANGING trends in the gardening and landscaping industry across the region will be reflected in Garden+Landscaping Middle East 2010, the international trade exhibition for the gardening, landscaping and outdoor living industries.

The event, which will be held at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre in Dubai, UAE, from October 31 to November 2, will bring together leading manufacturers, suppliers, distributors and professionals in the gardening and landscaping fields under one roof.
“An increasing ecological awareness amongst consumers and realisation about the harmful effects of certain non-native species of vegetation on the local environment is driving the demand for less harmful plant species in gardens across the region,” says a spokesman for Epoc Messe Frankfurt, the show’s organiser.
He continues: “Introduced plants and foliage in gardens, such as the quick-growing eucalyptus, tend to be extremely draining on water resources and need a far greater use of fertilisers to encourage their growth. There is an increasing swing towards the use of native vegetation that has evolved over time to local conditions, in order to conserve resources and preserve the environment.”
“There is an increasing awareness about the harmful effects that some introduced species of vegetation can have on the Middle East’s extremely sensitive environment,” says Wilbert Heijmans, group exhibitions director at Epoc Messe Frankfurt.
The event will feature the latest trends, innovations and products that are currently the rage in the industry worldwide and will provide local professionals an opportunity to adapt these to the needs of the region.
