MyGardenFinder: what are the hot garden products?

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

We’ve added a new site feature to MyGardenFinder that we’ll hope you’ll like - a hot products section based on the most popular searches that bring people to our site.

Naturally we don’t track individual users, but we do get a summary of what makes people visit us, and we’re compiling the new list based on that.

This offers an excellent opportunity to take a sneak peek at what other people are buying and using in their gardens. We love it because it gives us some great tips for neat products we might otherwise have missed out on, and it’s also a brilliant source of ideas.

Just click on the link below to find out for yourself - and we’ll keep it regularly updated to make sure it properly reflects what’s happening on the site.

All you have to do is enter the offer code R97WSAVE at the checkout - worth a look, surely?

As well as this blog, we have a shop - you can visit it here and have a browse around.
