Happiness is just a few weeks of warmer weather away
The rest of April and all of May needs to be good garden centre trading weather to make sure we stay ahead of last year’s sales levels.
The graph above illustrates clearly the benefit of Easter last year spanning weeks 15 and 16 (the ideal time for Easter according to our GTN Bestsellers analysis published last week).
The intent for people to spend time (and therefore money) in the garden is there as growing media sales continue to run at a high level and people are picking up new impulse lines such as the Smart Solar Eureka! Light Bulb in good volumes. So it must just need a few weeks of warmer drier weather and everyone will be happy.
