Cold snap ahead could be critical

Chart

This weekend’s cold snap could prove critical in the run up to the year end.  Will it enable you to make the most of winter gardening sales as the first frosts hit?  Will it stir more gardeners into buying and planting bulbs as their summer bedding finally dies off?  And will it kick start more people thinking about Christmas over half term?

 Half term at the end of October always provides a boost for garden centre sales, with families visiting and plenty of Halloween activities planned. 

As the GTN Bestsellers volume index shows, last week was once again up on last year but for the first time since mid September it was below our GTN Prediction. 

Let’s hope the weather and all the garden centre attractions planned gets us back above last year again for the next two weeks GTN Bestsellers volume sales reporting.
