Overall sales volumes jumped back above last year’s levels for the week ending Sunday 15th May, only bettered in the GTN Epos data records by 2018 when we had such a late start to the season that created a massive mid-May peak of activity.
After some welcome rain during this week, we could be in for another bumper weekend as everything in the garden, including weeds, puts on a growing spurt. And there’s also Chelsea Flower Show next week, so media attention about gardens and gardening will be on the increase.
