I thought it would be good to get a thread going with all the best special offers at local gardening centres, gardening websites etc. :D

Over the summer Morrisons started to sell off their old flower buckets at 8 for 99p. Once you have drilled a few holes in the bottom, these are fab for growing a variety of plants - we grew cucumber plants in them over the summer! I popped into Morrisons yesterday and now they are selling the same buckets at 20 for 99p. Bargain! :clap:

Lidls has got cheap gardening stuff on offer at the mo - the composter looks quite good value.

Also Wyevale's garden centre are selling off their seeds for .25p a packet if anyone works / travels near to their locations (I went to the one in Halifax). Got over 50 packets of seed for £14 - real value over £120 (Bella Cucumber normally £3.99 on sale for .25p)

99p shop near big Argos in town has lots of cheap gardening stuff.

I've just bought 75 citronella tea lights for 98p at woollies (ex-bigW), but I think we got the last ones.

There's loads of other stuff they're trying to get shut of - like kettle barbecues for a fiver

dukeries garden centre near worksop has some gorgeous stuff in there i could spend a fortune there they have a sale on at the minute

Yes, Tracie, I find Morrisons very good for plants as well.Even at their ordinary prices they are good.

for use as a wind break on grazing land,looking at about 20-25.

MAKRO has 65ltr bags of Miracle Gro compost at £1.99 (+vat) at the mo.

try laurel instead :)

The big problem with the conifers is that they won't regrow if they are damaged (eg, by wind) but things like laurel, hawthorn (easily grown from cuttings) and pyracanthus do - and they don't harbour the nasties that damage our crops and lead to the necessity for hideous amounts of pesticides ;)

i tried blackthorn & hawthorn last year but the sodding horses eat it. laurel is on the list of shrubs not to plant with horses.
just put in a pyracanthus and a couple of buddliea, but i still need some fast vigorous growth

apparently wilkinsons are selling their garden arches for half price - £1.50

Im a Wilko fan, and have had many bargains from there.Where will you site your mini- greenhouse ? Is it partly polythene ? Sometimes they blow away,if not anchored properly. But sounds interesting.

I'll second that :) When we first had ours it was on a concrete slab about half way down the garden, it kept getting blown over and blown over so it is against the house wall now and also has a bag of compost in the bottom for further stability

What kind of things are you going to grow in it Tess ?

spray nozzles for hose pipe 50p with 75% off @ wilkos.

Wilkos seem to be doing pretty well on the gardening bargains front!

Netto has fruit and ornamental trees for £3.99. I bought a cherry, 3 apples a crab apple and a rowan. They are of a decent size for the price. I wish I had more space as I would have bought more.

They also have some quite small shrubs for £1.69: I got a Skimmia Rubella, a couple of box trees, a dwarf conifer and two heathers. More suitable for tubs than open garden because of their small size.

Which Wilko has the mini greenhouse? Do they have any left? Sadly none left in Hillsborough today, but they have quite a few half price things like weed and feed, fertiliser, weedkiller etc so I stocked up.
