Petrol shortages take effect on garden product sales
October garden product sales closed 4% down on 2020 and 2019, which may in reality be closer to static year on year when you take the drop in business caused by the petrol shortages into account.
The start of a cold snap definitely caused sales of certain products to boom along with a significant shift towards houseplant care.
Highlights of the week were:
Smart Garden Anti-Freeze Tap Cover moved up three to the GTN No 1 spot.
Growth Technology Orchid Myst 100ml was the highest chart re-entry at No 16.
Woodlodge Terracotta Pot Feet climbed 34 places up the chart to No 2 and the Woodlodge Standard Spang Pot 4" was a new entry at No 6.
