New record set for Garden Product sales

Garden Product sales zoomed to a recorded weekly sales high in the second week after re-opening.  The GTN Bestsellers Garden Products Top 50 volume was up 65% on the first week and 17% higher than the previous record set during the early May Bank Holiday week of 2016.

 

Core gardening products, and pots, dominate the Top 50 but there is a sign that more decorative items are starting to be on customers shopping lists with two garden lighting lines re-entering the chart.

 

The GTN Chart also includes two watering lines but deep within the Epos data it’s clear that the dry weather is leading to a spike in all watering sales.

 

  • Evergreen Garden Care Levington Tomorite 1L + 30% Free, stays at No 1 as sales volumes double week on week.
  • Stewart Flower Pot Saucer 10 inch, Terracotta, is the highest chart climber, up 31 places to No 18.
  • Smart Garden 120cm Bamboo Canes, Bundles of 20, were the only new entry of the week, in at No 30.
