Autumn Garden Product sales up 7%
Week on Week DOWN 7.7% Year to date vs 2017 DOWN 7.7% vs 2016 DOWN 18.0%

Garden Product sales are now running at 7% up on last year over the past four weeks as gardeners continue to be active in their gardens.  Planting in pots, lawn renovation after the summer, decorative lights and ornaments were the big areas of sales increases.  High winds meant there were plenty of distress purchases of tree ties and tree stakes.

  • Woodlodge’s Wall Mounted Butterfly was the highest new product chart entry at No 17.
  • Garland 48cm (19") Tree Ties saw an incredible sales increase to debut in the chart at No 28.
  • Smart Solar Glow Orb Light almost doubled sales to re-enter at No 19.
