Plant sales are the main driver to sales volumes being up on both of the last two weeks as we reach the half year. 

At The HTA National Plant Show this week, most garden centres were expecting plant sales to continue at record levels through into July.

That was certainly the feedback from the winners of GTN’s The Greatest Plant Retailing Awards, presented at The HTA National Plant Show on Tuesday, who were all reporting double digit plant sales increases during May and June.

Gold Award winners in GTN’s The Greatest Plant Retailing Awards were: Scotsdales, Cambridge, Cowells, The Old Railway Line, Fron Goch, Coolings, Bents and Hillier Nurseries. See the full results in GTN Xtra.
