Retail Sales Up 



B. Butterfield, iMwn & Garden 

 Marketing, March, 1991. 

 (From New Horizons, June, 1991— 

 a publication of the AAN Horticul- 

 tural Research Institute.) 



According to the National Garden- 

 ing Survey conducted for the Na- 

 tional Gardening Association by 

 the Gallop Organization, lawn and 

 garden retail sales totalled $20.7 

 billion in 1990 compared with 

 $16.3 billion in 1989. This repre- 

 sents about a 27% increase. The 

 survey indicated that 75 million 

 U.S. households participated in one 

 or more types of indoor and out- 

 door lawn and garden activities in 

 1990— a 5% increase over 1989. 

 Two of several categories of infor- 

 mation indicated that 29 million 

 households did landscaping in 



1990, spending an average of $179 

 on "do-it-yourself landscaping. 

 This compares with $167 in the 

 year before. Consumer sales were 

 $3.8 billion, compared with $2.6 

 billion in 1989. In addition, garden 

 center/retail nursery outlets con- 

 tinue to lead all other types. A to- 

 tal of 38 million customers said 

 they bought products at these out- 

 lets—a 9% increase over 1989.
