Speaker: Danny Summers, managing director and chief instigator at The Garden Center Group

Garden retailing is like a train moving down the tracks to a new destination and the constant evolution of trends and management needs requires you to stay on the train in order to meet the changing needs of the consumer. Garden retailing has experienced major growth in new customers and sales since 2019. As we look forward to 2026, Summers will share insight of the The Group’s 150+ garden centers performances and the best practices benchmarks from The Group’s Annual P&L Studies of 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 plus trends of 2025, with additional observations to help you prepare for 2026 and beyond. Being on the Garden Retailing Train of knowledge is critical to your garden center’s success.
