As an indicator of core gardening activity, the sales of growing media as monitored by GTN Bestsellers mean our customers have been doing two-thirds as much gardening over the past six weeks than last year. Volume sales are up over that period by an average of 64%.
We just need one more week’s sales data with increased sales on last year for the GTN Bestsellers Growing Media Top 50 volume index to go above last year, even after seven weeks of zero sales during garden centre closures.
Highlights of the week were:
Westland Multi Purpose with John Innes 60 litres moved 15 places up the chart to No 3.
Evergreen Horticulture Multi Purpose Compost 20 litres climbed 19 places to No 25.
Evergreen Garden Care Evergreen Lawn Soil was the highest re-entry of the week, back in at No 29.
