The colourful displays of up to 50 orchid varieties were being well visited when GTN visited, holding customers attention for long periods of time.
The Garden & Leisure Group have taken advantage of the current Orchid boom and created a new event that is generating extra footfall and increasing sales. For a four week period through to the middle of September they are holding an Orchid Festival, featuring 50 Orchid varieties.
At Huntingdon Garden & Leisure, houseplant manager Rachel Lynn told GTNonline that the display was generating high sales levels of orchids and orchid products. “Interest in the orchids is also helping to increase other houseplant sales at the same time.”
