Winds of change blow garden product sales off course
 
High winds and lack of footfall lead to a huge drop in garden product sales last week, down 43% on the same week last year. 

The high winds did prompt big sales increases of plant support products, however, with eleven lines in the Top 50, the most we’ve ever seen in one week of a GTN Bestsellers Chart.

This week’s highlights were:
  • Gardman Gard ‘n’ Hoop 30cm x 45cm, pack of 2 was the highest climber, jumping 30 places to No 9.
  • Gardman Pressure Treated Softwood Round Tree Stake 1.5m x 35mm was the highest re-entry.
