Who We Are
The Garden Retail Conference was created to gather thought leaders in the green industry to share, learn and have new experiences together in the rapidly changing world in which we live. We are here to address opportunities and mindsets and identify actions to take based on retailer success stories, addressing shifting market conditions.

Our History
In 2014 John Stanley held the first Garden Centre Gathering in Paris, France. The objective of the conference was to attract garden center thought leaders from around the world to a two-day think tank to look at strategies for the future. This worked so well that further conferences were held in the USA, UK, and the Czech Republic
COVID brought international travel to a standstill. Now is the time to revive thought-provoking ideas internationally through an interactive virtual conference.
Who This Is For

The Garden Retail Conference is a conference for owners, managers, and CEOs of front-line employees of Garden Retailers, and will be inclusive of the entire supply chain, from retailer to growers, manufacturers, and all points between. Attendees are expected from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Italy, Ireland, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Russia, South Africa, Sweden, Ukraine, UK, USA
“This virtual conference offers solution-based and forward-thinking topics such as sustainability and focusing on the conscious consumer.
Last year our industry experienced an explosion of epic proportions. Now is the time to determine where this monumental growth will lead.
