Making the most of growing on
 

Three weeks into March and Garden Product sales are up on last year but we need a strong last two weekends to match March sales in 2017 and 2014, the previous best two March’s of the past five years. 

 

Fortunately we have Garden Re-Leaf Day and Mothers Day to come so how are you making sure you maximise garden product sales as well as plants, gifts and afternoon teas?

 

This weeks GTN Garden Products Chart reflects a lot of small plant and seed growing activity.  This is the segment of business we all missed out on last year because of the bad weather, so hopefully you are making the most of it.

  • The Stewart 38cm Propagator Cover Clear is a new entry at No 28 and the Stewart Flower Pot Saucer 8 inch Terracotta is a re-entry at No 11.
  • Gardman’s Solar Clear Hanging Jar Light is the highest new re-entry, in at No 5.
  • Smart Solar’s Eureka! Firefly Lantern is also a new entry at No 20.
