Garden lighting is a bestseller again
 
As the days start getting longer garden lighting sales volumes in the GTN Garden Products Top 50 increased by 61% last week. 

Clearly the use of garden lighting to decorate the UK’s gardens is still as popular as ever.  

Have you got your garden lighting in the highest footfall areas or tucked away in garden furniture?  

GTN Bestsellers analysis shows that garden lighting is an all year round bestseller and it consistently sells more than all other garden sundries apart from growing media.

This week's highlights were:
  • Gardman Ice Orb Mini was the highest new entry at No 4.
  • Premier Decorations Coloured Led Pull Light & Bulb is the highest re-entry at No 11.
  • Apta Veronica Standard Pot 11cm is the highest climber, jumping 23 places to No 13.
