Lawn care products in big demand
 
Finally, the nation’s gardeners are starting to get outside and do some serious work, with lawn care being uppermost in their minds. There has been a significant increase in demand for weed and feed products now that Spring has finally arrived.

The three main accolades in the GTN Bestsellers Garden Products chart – Highest Climber, High Re-entry and Highest New Entry – are all lawn care products from Westland with Lawn Feed & Moss Killer (400 sq m) being the highest place, moving up 27 places to No 11. Scotts Evergreen Complete has also seen a 50% increase in sales to move up to No 19.

Another sign that gardeners are becoming more active is the number of gardening gloves in the Top 50, headed by Gardman Premium Ladies Suede Work Gloves at No 2.

There is a broad range of products in the chart this week with seed sowing items still proving very popular.

Lighting is also proving to be a popular item – both Gardman and Smart Solar figure in the Top 10 – and orchid product sales continue to sell well with the Fito Drip Feeder reclaiming its No 1 position.
