Among the show’s standout innovations were a fertiliser made entirely from sheep’s wool, a bio-composted giant pumpkin weighing nearly 1,200 kilograms, and a tree injection system offering pest control that’s both effective and 100% sustainable. Also attracting attention were fire-resistant plants designed for Mediterranean landscapes and new solutions in cut flower transport — from bouquet backpacks to water-preserving containers.
