Potential bestsellers are unveiled at Glee



Out of the hundreds of new products at Glee it was particularly pleasing that several of the Glee New Product Awards winners were really potential GTN Bestsellers Chart entrants for next year.

Westland’s Tomato Pack, a grow bag for just one tomato plant, and the GlazeLite, lightweight glazed pots, from Apta should both be Top 50 chart regulars when sales get into gear next year.

The Burgon & Ball RHS Cutting Tool range will make customer choice from a crowded sector much easier and if we published a garden centre welly chart the smart new Historic Palaces range from Briers is sure to feature towards the top.

The Wildlife World Bug and Bee Biome, with good displays and promotion, also looks set to be a bestseller in the sector next spring and could even be a great Christmas gift idea too!

If you saw other new products at Glee that are your tip for the GTN Bestsellers charts next year please let us know by email: trevor.pfeiffer@tgcmc.co.uk
