Will the supply chain pull through? We speak to leading distributors
The GTN Bestsellers All Products chart (above) continues to show encouraging sales figures in garden centres as the mild spring conditions have helped to give the industry a much needed boost.

Or does it? GTN Bestsellers has been talking to two major distributors – STAX and Decco – who are prepared to take up any slack in the chain caused by the Scotts-Solus breakdown.
