Signs of growth for after lockdown

A combination of lockdown#3 and wintry weather means that even shopping for gardening essentials stays at an all time low as far as the GTN Bestsellers Epos data tells us. 

 

While all of the GTN Bestsellers sales indexes are a very long way behind last year sales of seeds, compost and seed propogation products are indicative of the activity and sales that will be top of the agenda when the weather improves.

 

Many centres we’ve spoken to over the past few weeks have reported receiving a lot of their pre-season gardening products orders already, with some even saying they’ve got their whole years’ worth of compost in stock. 

 

As ever, we need the weather to improve and then some good news on the lockdown situation to allow for gardeners to get out and get growing.

 

This weeks GTN Bestsellers includes the Top 100 Christmas products of 2020.  We’ll include the Top 100 Garden products of 2020 in next weeks issue. Subscribe to GTN Bestsellers using this link.
