Penquins become bestselling items in garden centres



It’s highly possible the new John Lewis TV Christmas advert and the release of Penguins of Madagascar are driving sales volumes in garden centres. 



This week there are four Vivid Arts Playful Penguin products in the GTN Bestsellers Garden Products Top 50. 

Star performers include:

  • The Vivid Arts Playful Sliding Penguin figure is the highest placed at No 6.
  • There’s a new No 1 this week as the Window Lantern from Smart Garden Products (pictured below) makes its debut straight at the top.
  • Drip Feeder sales are on the up – Gardman packs of 4 are a re-entry at No 14 and the Fito Poinsettia drip feed climbs 36 places to No 11.
