Pots are the key to lockdown gardening

 

While Garden Products are running at 41% up year on year since re-opening the significantly higher increases in sales of Pot and Pot feet illustrate a key shift in the way people are gardening during the crisis.

 

During the second week of June this year sale of pots and pot feet in the GTN Top 50 were 175% higher than last year.  Pots and pot feet lines accounted for 25% of the total Top 50 volume.

  • The Deroma Cotto Garden Sun Azalea Pot 21cm from Apta was the highest new entry for the week at No 10.
  • Woodlodge’s Spang Pot 3 inch re-entered at No 13 after a 116% sales increase.
  • Smart Solar’s Eureka! Firefly Lantern Large climbed 23 places up the chart, perhaps indicating that thoughts and spending are heading towards garden decoration ready for long summer nights.
