Each year, the Arett Open House shines a spotlight on innovation with a dedicated New Products Display—giving lawn and garden retailers a first look at the items that will shape the upcoming season. This year, more than 200 new designs, formulations, and concepts were on display near the entrance, showcasing the creativity and forward-thinking spirit driving our industry.
Retailers were invited to cast their votes for their favorite products, and after fierce competition, we’re excited to announce the top three winners. These standout products combine functionality, sustainability, and creativity—helping you bring something fresh and exciting to your customers.

Specialized care for succulents and desert plants.
Grow More’s Cactus Juice is a liquid fertilizer designed specifically for cacti, succulents, and other drought-tolerant plants. With its unique 1-7-6 nutrient ratio, this formula supports healthy roots, vibrant blooms, and natural resistance to stress.

Where plant care meets pure joy.
Joyfully crafted in North Georgia, Chelsea the Cloud is a patented, USA-made houseplant accessory that turns everyday watering into a gentle, 5-minute “rain shower.” Designed for plant parents who love a little whimsy with their routine, Chelsea includes a surprise charm (sun, heart, or butterfly) and perches easily above most indoor pots.
Key Features:

- Gift-ready novelty: A standout accessory for enthusiastic plant lovers and new hobbyists alike.
Retail takeaway: Highly demo-able and giftable at the register; pair with indoor planters, potting mixes, moisture meters, and care kits to lift AOV and create a fun, education-forward endcap.
Why These Products Stand Out
From eco-friendly outdoor grilling to specialized plant nutrition and whimsical décor, these winners highlight the diversity and creativity driving the lawn, garden, and lifestyle market. As a retailer, stocking award-winning products is a proven way to differentiate your store, attract new customers, and boost sales.
But that’s not all—this year’s Open House also welcomed 50+ new vendors to the Arett lineup, offering even more ways to expand your assortment.
