Online plant sales are growing fast at the moment due to garden centre retail closures. Demand is so great that some online retailers like The Garden Shop are forced to temporarily close their online checkouts to catch up on packing orders.
Given the surge in interest, you might be thinking of taking the opportunity to set up online trading.
A scheme that may be worth looking into is the Trading Online Scheme run by the Local Enterprise Office. They offer a €2,500 grant towards areas like website, advertising and marketing development. Full details of the Trading Online Scheme are available here.
