March has started well compared to last year but it’s not trading at the average March level over the past eight years at the moment. 

However with Garden Re-Leaf Day, a good weather forecast and Mother's Day still to come that could all turn around by the end of the month.

A visit to Blue Diamond Bicester Avenue this week revealed an excellent display of growing products including grow houses and veg trugs.  It was well stocked with a wide range of options.  Anyone who wanted to grow their own would be sure to leave satisfied and ready to get growing.  Is your growing sales area ready for old and new gardeners to satisfy their needs and questions?
