End of season pot bargains and houseplant care star
Whilst the steam appears to have run out in terms of garden product sales growth vs last year, sales so far during November have been on a par with the average of the previous seven years so a creditable performance really considering we are in Lockdown with all of its Social Distancing restrictions.
It would appear the fewer customers that are coming to centres are targeting their buying to specific areas: Christmas, plants, growing media, and when it comes to other garden products it’s end-of-season pot bargains and houseplant sales that are really doing well.
Highlights of the week were:
Apta’s Brown Wine Crate Planter 25cm is the highest new entry at No 2, one of seven Apta lines in the Top 50 as their end of season clearance lines fly through the tills.
Fito Drip Feeder For Orchids 32ml is the highest chart climber, up 36 places to No 13.
Westland Lawn & Turf Dressing 25 litres is the highest re-entry as lawn owners take advantage of a break in the weather to get their lawn prepped for next year.
