BFG Supply Faces Chapter 11 Amid Lawn Care Spending Hits $79B

BFG Supply is preparing to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and potentially liquidate amid significant challenges. The 2026 National Gardening Report indicated total market spending in 2025 reached $79.0 billion, marking a 13.5% increase year-over-year. Households reported a record spending of $740 on gardening, despite a decline of 4.5 million households participating in gardening activities. BFG Supply is currently under financial pressure and has canceled all scheduled trade shows, affecting its operations and workforce. This situation highlights the volatility in the lawn and garden industry, which could impact investor sentiment.
