Spring ‘hibernation’ hits product sales
Three weeks of cold weather has effectively put gardens into hibernation and this is clearly illustrated in the sales of core garden products.
We’d normally expect to see increases in bug control, especially slug deterrents during April and May but this just hasn’t happened… yet.
Last week’s data shows slug control product sales down 28% on the same week last year in the GTN Bestsellers Top 50.
The highlights were:
- Smart Solar Eureka! Lightbulb Lantern was the highest climber.
- Gardman Hanging Basket Coco Liner was the highest re-entry.
