Great start to the season...or is it a false dawn?
 |
A combination of Garden Re-Leaf day and reasonable weather saw total sales in garden centres almost reach the high spot of 2014 for the third week of March.
Unfortunately, in 2014 that was a false dawn as the weather then turned bad and sales didn’t grow above those levels for another four weeks.
With Mother’s Day this weekend and the weather forecast looking promising, perhaps we will have the model start to the season with continued week on week growth through to Easter.
What are your thoughts on the season ahead? Have you noticed any downturns in sales as a result of pricing post the Brexit currency issues?
