HydroGarden, the market leading provider of hydroponic products and systems has sparked a new partnership with the Buildbase Honda motocross team, as it proudly announces it will be headline sponsor at the Weston Beach Race for the second year running.

The event, which will take place over three days from the 13 to the 15 October, will have two Honda-team riders added to the line-up. With bikes and kit both sponsored by HydroGarden, the extra riders will compete for glory alongside their fellow Buildbase Honda teammates on the new Honda CRF450R motorbike.

Jonathan Aldridge, managing director at HydroGarden, said: ?Following the success of last year?s event – where we engaged with thousands of like-minded people – we are really excited to take our sponsorship of the Weston Beach Race up a gear for another action-packed weekend.

?Our partnership with Honda motocross is not only a fantastic opportunity to support the competitors in the team, but it has also allowed us to explore new and exciting avenues to promote the HydroGarden brand.?

David Thorpe, Buildbase Honda MX team manager, added: ?With HydroGarden playing a prominent role at the event, it?s exciting that two additional Honda team riders will also have its support. I?m really looking forward to seeing the team in the HydroGarden-branded kit.?
