Sales for the fourth week of March – Garden Re-Leaf Day weekend – headed in the right direction towards the levels achieved in 2017 and 2014 with core gardening activity, especially Veg-2-Gro sales and growing media leading the way.

As garden centres prepare to make the most of a Mother’s Day weekend that has a bright and sunny, albeit colder, weather forecast, March now looks set to be up on last year by around 50% and within 10 or 15% of the record for March set in 2017.

Have a great Mother’s Day weekend!
