Houseplants are a gift to garden product sales
 
Christmas houseplants, lighting lines and gift ideas are the main sales increase drivers in the GTN Bestsellers Garden Products Chart as a result of the high footfall of last weekend.

Top 50 sales volumes were up 28% on the previous week but 12% down on the same week last year and over 30% down on 2013 levels when Vivid Arts penguins and polar bears hit the tills in high volumes.

The star items in the Garden Products chart this week were:
  • Scheurich 15cm Cover Pots in Dark Red move up nine places to No 2.
  • Fito Drip Feeders for Poinsettia & Christmas Cactus are just behind at No 3.
  • Town & Country Gardener’s Kneeler & Stool and Burgon & Ball Kneelo are popular gift purchases, back in the Top 50 at No 34 and No 35.
