Latest figures from the Horticultural Trades Association suggest that there are signs of recovery in the UK garden market, with garden centres leading the way. Whilst the association’s Garden Industry Monitor (GIM)  showed total sales of garden products down by around 10% in 2008, the first half of 2009 seems to have recovered the position held a year earlier.

Citing significant interest in ‘Grow Your Own’ (GYO) and better weather as the reasons for the change, the HTA is “cautiously optimistic” that the garden industry is well-placed as the UK economy turns towards recovery.
