HOW THE SHOW BEGAN

Four Oaks Nurseries was set up on a 2 acre greenfield site by brothers Stuart and Arthur Coutts in 1964 for the production of bedding plants. The Vicar of Chelford had the foresight to help them source land as he could see potential employment for local people and particularlymarried women in a rural area.

The brothers pioneered the use of supplementary lighting in seedling production, working closely with Manchester University's Botany Department at Jodrell Bank and Norweb, the local Electricity Board. The first "Four Oaks Open Day" was organised in 1971 by Norweb to promote the use of growing rooms in commercial horticulture. Over 400 local growers visited and 4 trade exhibitors had a presence - one of which, Henry Alty is still here 40 years on.

Pat Coutts

By 1979, there were around 80 exhibitors and at this stage Four Oaks took over the organisation and it became the "Four Oaks Trade Show", with myself at the helm. The 1980s were the boom years. Huge numbers of small growers and grower retailers were the backbone of the industry and at this stage the show was one day only. Two years of preview evenings proved the need for an extra day and in 1991 during the last recession the show became a 2 day event which was a turning point. This brought in the European exhibitors with masses of hardy stock, mature trees and Mediterranean plants, changing the profile of the show.

The business was bought by Richard Harding in 2002 which secured the future of the site and the show has continued to prosper with his support. At a time when other shows in the industry are reinventing themselves, Four Oaks goes from strength to strength - "Four Oaks is Forever".

On stand D49/50, Elsner PAC of Dresden will show one new ivy leaf (peltatum) and two new zonal varieties,  seen for the first time by visitors to the PAC trials in Germany in May.

PAC® Kate is a double flowered ivy leaf with noble dark red shining flowers which have a small white centre. It has good branching, a regular round plant habit and excellent heat tolerance. Named after the new Royal bride, it was launched in Dresden the day after the Royal Wedding.

PAC® Flower Fairy® Velvet is a stunning new zonal introduction to the popular Flower Fairy® series. It has very large semi-double pink flowers each with very large dark velvet red ‘eyes’. The ‘eyes’ on the petals are a feature of all varieties in the Flower Fairy® series.  It has a vigorous growth habit and produces a well-rounded plant.

PAC® Ludo is another zonal introduction with semi-double large flowers of a mid pink colour, a new shade in the PAC® range. It is also has a vigorous plant habit and produces a well-rounded plant. In addition, the leaves are marked with a good strong zone.

PAC® will also be showing some of the pelargonium introductions made in previous years,and a range of material from the breeder Westhoff, which they are able to offer to UK growers. 

“The Four Oaks Show in the UK is an important time for us” stated Joerg Mehle from PAC®. “It comes at a time in the year when we can hopefully influence growers to include material from our genetics into their assortments for the future. It is also very important for us to meet our partners once again and to make new contacts” he concluded.

NEW Super Serie® Jive®.
The Jive® belongs to the mini segment and its elegant waved flowers, central bloom, firm flower stems and uniform blooms make it very distinctive. A limited number of growers have been chosen to cultivate this product and they are obliged to use the trade mark Let’s dance? Jive®.

Outdoor Trials
For the sixth successive year Schoneveld Breeding held its outdoor flower trials. The aim, as always, was to highlight the different varieties and colours that perform well outdoors. Super Serie® Picasso®, Mini Winter® and Verano® are performing outstanding, with the Picasso® as an absolute winner. From this series we will select the colors which meet the standard of Schoneveld Breeding’s Veranda Selections®.

Touch Me
The Primula Touch Me® with its vivid colours is very popular for bringing the feeling of springtime from January already! Touch Me is recognizable by a label, pot sleeve or pot cover. The Touch Me is promoted in Retail & Florist Magazines and gets more and more known by consumers as a result of this campaign.
