More records for growing media sales
 
Growing media sales are running at record levels for April. Sales volumes of the GTN Bestsellers Top 50 have already beaten the total for April 2016 with one week still to go.  

Whether garden centre sales are being achieved at the expense of DIY and High Street store we won’t know for a few weeks but one thing is certain:  more garden centre customers are doing more gardening than ever before in April.

The highlights this week were:
  • Scotts Levington Multipurpose + John Innes (56 litres) stayed on top of the chart.
  • Bord na Mona Growise Multipurpose Compost (50 litres) was the highest re-entry, jumping straight to No 2.
  • Scotts Levington Multipurpose with John Innes (50 litres) was the highest climber, moving up 17 places to No 15.
