GTN Bestsellers EPoS data analysis: It’s good news for gardening

 

Great news for gardening:  when the weather improves people get active in their gardens and in spite of Coronavirus fears they seem happy to visit garden centres.

 

Sales in the GTN Bestsellers EPoS data were a match with levels for the first week of March in 2018 and up 8% on the same week last year.

 

Judging by the full restaurants we’ve seen at garden centres during this week could it be that garden centres are a haven of tranquillity away from all the doom and gloom in the news.

 

Let’s hope garden Re-Leaf Day, this weekend and Mother's Day next weekend continue the good news!

 

GTN Bestsellers Top 50 sales volumes compared to the same week last year: week 10

  • Garden Products Top 50 – down 10% 
  • Growing Media Top 50 – up 21%
  • Wild Bird Care Top 50 – up 22%
  • Veg 2 Gro Top 50 – down 12%
