Weekend heatwave will give a hint at what is to come for the garden industry

The weather this weekend is set to soar in the United Kingdom and garden centres should be on standby for a bumper weekend.

Hopefully, trade will pick up and alleviate any fears that this season has already passed for growers and retailers.

The early Easter and poor weather put pay to a strong start from the blocks but hopefully, hard pressed businesses can bounce back strongly - early bedding will be one of the indicators or how successful the weekend would have gone.

According to a headline on Gardenforum, growers are still confident of a good season, despite the slow start. However, you will have to subscribe to find out why the growers are still hoping of a bounce.

Do you intend to visit a garden centre this weekend - If you do, what is on your shopping list?

I am interested to know, will you upgrade your garden furniture, lawn mower or greenhouse or are you planning to make do for another year and save some money?
