We featured in HortWeek today, commenting on the strong start to the 2025 horticultural season.
James Ball told HortWeek: “We’ve had a really strong spring 2025 performance so far, driven largely by the weather and new product lines into garden centres. Spring sales are 16% up on the same period last year and our customers are experiencing really positive sell-through figures in garden centres. We’ve also introduced a number of new product offerings this year, which we’ve had great feedback on.
“On the nursery, it’s been tricky in the heat but we’ve increased our outdoor production space this year and the new beds are producing some great results on the alpines. While this weather is a godsend for the industry, irrigation could become an issue in the coming weeks, so the odd downpour would be welcome.”
Lets hope this warm weather continues well into the season!
