Flat Plant Sales

This is from today's issue NMPRO, a weekly ezine from Branch-Smith Publications:

Don't expect huge jumps in retail plant sales
Standpoint Marketing Research, which has conducted garden-buying surveys since 2000, concludes that retail plant buying will remain flat for years to come. "Retailers must recognize they can no longer expect the same kind of robust growth they experienced as a result of the baby boomers," a Standpoint report stated. Homeowners 25-40 spend less on gardening products than previous generations. Baby Boomers are spending less on garden products at retail sites, and more on lawn-and-garden services.
