Peak week for growing media sales
 

Growing Media sales reached their highest volume sales levels during Chelsea Flower Show week and are now cumulatively almost 12% up on last year’s volumes and 5% up on levels of 2017.


Container growing and veg growing are driving big sales increases with sales of topsoil and soil conditioners also on the increase as garden projects get into full swing.


Highlights were:

  • Westland GroSure Easy Container, 25 litre bags, climbed 34 places up the GTN Chart to No 5.
  • The Evergreen Garden Care Levington Original Gro-bag jumped two places to No 2.
  • Westland The Gardener’s Soil Conditioner, 50 litres, re-entered at No 36 with an 83% sales increase.
