Sales at garden centres bursting out all over
 |
Garden centre sales in the second week of February saw a timely boost, up 7% on last year, according to EPoS data provided for GTN Bestsellers.
Highlights were another good week for growing media sales and Veg-2-Grow plants, indicating plenty of gardening activity for the year ahead.
The cold weather has also prompted a boost of winter related sales, not sledges and snow shovels but paraffin for greenhouse heaters which features in the Top 50 as the early bird gardeners get themselves ahead of the game.
As centre’s complete their turnaround from Christmas Shop back to Garden Centre for spring and summer GTN has joined the HTA Study Tour to Holland this week to find out what are the trends and new retailing concepts that can be implemented to encourage more sales.
