Fingers crossed for Indian summer


At last a summer trading week that has volumes up year on year. This is the first week since the end of June that we’ve seen a year on year increase in garden centre volume sales. Could it be the start of an Indian summer?

Plant sales and growing media sales are certainly heading that way with both charts showing healthy increases.

With Christmas openings just around the corner, how are you making sure you maximise on gardening and plant sales opportunities over the coming weeks?  

If you have special September gardening promotions running do let us know by emailing trevor.pfeiffer@tgcmc.co.uk
