With the launch of new picnic baskets and hampers for 2017, THE WICKER MERCHANT is providing garden centres across the country with a strong seasonal line for the summer ahead. As the days become longer and the climate warms, consumers across the country look to the great British summer and begin to think of spending time outdoors, whether urban park or country fields. Garden centres across the country are preparing for the key months ahead and, as Wicker Merchant sales director Simon Ainge argues, now is the perfect time to welcome The Wicker Merchant to store: “Our new picnic baskets and hampers are perfect for capitalising on the excitement of summer; the perfect impulse buy as the sun begins to shine. With a great variety covering two-person sets ideal for romantic walks to large family hampers, each is fully equipped with everything needed; whether that’s a rolled-up blanket, to champagne flutes, plates and cutlery.“ Made from high-quality wicker, these are classic English pieces and are sure to be popular this season, but the Wicker Merchant is also well geared to provide all-round and winter lines too. Pet baskets and houses make a great addition to garden centres throughout the year, particularly with many locations now featuring pet zones or concessions. The same is true of a large amount of storage baskets, while sales in the winter months can see benefit from a broad selection of log baskets.  01536 444960
