Despite overall garden centre sales being 20% or more up on 2019 levels during July, the Top 50 Garden Products in the GTN Bestsellers data haven’t fared as well with the average weekly variance being 7% down.
Looking back at the 2019 July charts, it looks as though the drop is mainly due to lower volumes of garden lighting and other decorative products being purchased whereas plant feeds and bug control sales are improved as we’d expect given the increase in gardening activity.
Highlights of the week were:
Evergreen Garden Care Levington Tomorite 1L + 30% Free stays at No 1 in the GTN Chart, selling nearly 200% more volume than in the same week of 2019.
Neudorff Sluggo Slug & Snail Killer 800g is the highest chart climber, up 25 places to No 22.
Smart Solar’s Mega SpiraLight Warm White is the highest re-entry at No 11 and the highest placed lighting/decorative product this week. Back in 2019 there were four lighting lines in the Top 8 of the chart with Smart Solar Eureka! Neo Light Bulb Lantern – Clear/Blue/Pink at No 1 for the third consecutive week.
