Lighting and gardening gifts boost sales
 
Lights, houseplant feeders and gardening gifts are really providing a boost to Garden Product sales as Christmas gets closer.

This week there are six lighting lines in the Top 10 GTN Bestsellers garden products, and several lines of gardening gloves and tools re-enter the chart as customers look for gift ideas.

The main highlights this week were:
  • Kaemingk LED Black Antique Lantern 40cm was the highest new entry at No 2.
  • Another new entry was Smart Garden Inside Out 20-inch Ripley Wall Clock at No 26.
  • Apta Pot Standard 11cm was the highest re-entry at No 13.
  • Gardman Leaf Rake was the highest climber, jumping 34 places to No 14.
  • Fito Drip Feeder For Orchids 32ml retained the top spot.
