Meadow View celebrates Glee award win

Meadow View is celebrating a standout Glee 2026 after its new Elementa Water Features range won the GLEE New Product Award for Garden Decoration.

Launched at the show for the 2027 season, Elementa marks Meadow View’s expansion into the water feature category and attracted strong interest from garden centre buyers throughout the event.

The range has been developed specifically for garden centre retail, combining contemporary design with a point of difference not currently offered by competing water feature ranges. Selected designs allow consumers to incorporate planting directly into the feature, bringing together water, light and planting to create a more personalised and integrated addition to the garden.

Sarah Hill, Managing Director at Meadow View, said: “Elementa is a completely new category for Meadow View, so the response at Glee was incredibly important to us.
We wanted to introduce something that offered retailers a genuine point of difference, with the ability to incorporate planting giving customers greater scope to personalise the product and integrate it into their garden.

“Winning the Glee New Product Award was a brilliant endorsement of the concept, and the response from buyers has given us real confidence as we move into the 2027 season.”

Elementa joins Meadow View’s existing portfolio of decorative aggregates, paving and complementary landscaping products supplied exclusively to the garden centre sector and will be available to garden centre stockists for the 2027 season.
