A Flying Start to the Season for Gardman
18 May 2015
The wild bird care market believed, to be worth £320 million across all retail channels, has become a key sales category for garden centres over the last 10 years.
With a reported growth of 10% in 2015, Gardman believes there is still massive potential for growth. Gardman has aggressive plans to grow the entire wild bird care category this season and is promising to put the strongest ever trade support behind these plans.
