Garden care just the support act...

The Bank Holiday Monday weather spurred garden product sales towards the highest volume week for the year so far but plant foods, pest control and garden decoration are not moving anywhere near as fast as plants just yet.

 

Merchandising more alongside the most popular plants could make a vital difference to pick up sales

 

 

• Gardman Hanging Basket Easy Liner 30cm is the highest re-entry.

• Smart Garden 180cm Bamboo Cane bundles of 10, are the highest placed new entry at No 27.

• Vitax Slug Gone 1 litre grew sales by 178% to re-enter at No 48.
