Tete a Tete tops Bestsellers Top 20 chart
 |
Tete a Tete bulbs, multipurpose compost with John Innes and decorative Poppy Wild Bird Feeders dominate at the top of the first GTN Bestsellers All Garden Products Top 20 chart.
We’re often asked how the sales volumes of our regular Top 50 charts compare and also how sales compare with the likes of Wild Bird Care, Landscaping and Bulb sales volumes.
So here is a chart that combines all items we track with barcodes that are sold for use in the garden or for growing plants, other than plants themselves which are now charted in our Plant Genus chart.

Adam Taylor of Taylors Bulbs spent yesterday working in the bulb sales area at Burford Garden Centreand told GTN Xtra; "they have a big display of bulbs for the peak-season weeks of September in a peak traffic-flow location in the centre. They maintain the display in the prime retail space near the restaurant entrance/exit all the way through the bulb planting season, deep into November. By investing in the bulb category with such a high profile position, they experience big peaks pre and post lunch and afternoon tea and the greatest challenge is keeping enough bagged stock on the shop floor!"
"As well as a big range of loose tulips in particular, their primary offer is of loose bulbs purchased from Taylors Bulbs that are pre-bagged for the customer by garden centre staff as required, thus requiring investment in staff on the shop floor all day throughout the weekends. They also list complementary pre-packs for those looking for bestsellers in any form, collections and some of the more unusual bulbs."
