More consumers shopped at garden centers than mass merchants this spring, according to the 2007 Summer Gardening Trends Research Report released by Garden Writers Assoc. Foundation (GWAF).
In early spring, GWAF asked consumers where they planned to buy most of their spring plants. Garden centers were cited by 47% of respondents, while 44% said they’d be buying from big boxes.
In a June survey, consumers were asked where they actually made their spring purchases. Garden centers still came out ahead, with 43%. Mass merchants snagged second place with 39%.
