Are new gardeners an opportunity for Wild Bird Care?

 

While gardening activity continues to soar, Wild Bird Care sales in garden centres are still lagging behind previous years.  Is that because people are buying their bird feeds elsewhere or is it just a lack of interest and knowledge from new gardeners?

 

Autumn Watch won’t be back on air until October but in the meantime there must be an opportunity to educate new gardeners to the benefits of wild birds and other wildlife in their gardens.  That together with good social media marketing should rejuvenate garden centre sales in this sector.

  • Gardman Seed Mix 2kg is the highest climber in the GTN Wild Bird Care chart this week, up 21 places to No 4.
  • Tom Chambers Hungry Hedgehog Blend 0.75kg is a re-entry at No 37.
  • The Gardman Forget Me Not Bird Bath is the highest chart new entry at No 16.
