This coming Monday 21st, the third in January has been named the most depressing day of the year. Reasons for this include: we're in the dismal month of January, with the post Christmas blues; dark days and nights; probably broken resolutions and lighter evenings and warmer weather seeming an age away. This year you might be able to add the whole on-going BREXIT fiasco but then that wouldn't just apply to Blue Monday!

Kentia Palm (Howea forsteriana) is a plant with a relatively small base from which slender stems grow upwards bearing soft, elegant green palm leaves. It’s one of the few palms that thrives on little light, low humidity and cool rooms. Kentia Palm is also an attractive feature in the home: the light passes very attractively through the elegant leaves.

So where is the industry heading as we start a new year? Although we can't predict what may happen, we can comment on some trends that have been emerging over the last few months according to a number of our members.
