GardenCentre.co.uk

Here’s a couple of great offers from GardenCentre.co.uk: right now you can pick up four packs of vegetable seeds for just £2.99. It’s a lucky dip, so you’ll get a random selection. But, seeing as this would normally have cost around £7.50, it’s definitely worth a punt.

You can also get six-packs of Dawn Chorus wild bird fatballs for £1.99 - and the retailer is running a buy one, get one free offer to make them even better value.

Regular customers at GardenCentre.co.uk might also notice that it has reduced shipping rates on smaller orders.

Shipping now starts at just £1.29 for items such as a few packets of seeds or other small purchases weighing less than half a kilo.

More than 600 products fall into this category, so definitely worth having a good hunt through its catalogue…

We recommend taking a look at its offers on summer favourite Lobelia Blooming Fountain, available at £6.95 for 60 ready-to-plant plug plants - that works out at 12p per plant.

Or check out the four lavender mix at £17.95 - a pack of 20 young plants including five each of the English Hidcote, French Kew Red, Munstead and Rosea varieties. The retailer recommends planting together to make a stunning lavender display or spreading a beautiful scent around the garden.

Also well worth a look are the offers on 10 summer-flowering gladioli bulbs for £5.95, Surfinia Petunia mixed packs of five young plants for £7.95 (dispatched April to June) and five beautiful Pensham Penstemon Czar plants for £8.95.

That should give you plenty to be getting on with! But, just in case it’s not, you can view the full Blooming direct plant range here.

Big savings on turf from Rolawn in February

Friday, February 8th, 2008

Rolawndirect, leading suppliers of turf, topsoil, bark, lawn seed and lawn food

If the ravages of winter have left the grass in your garden looking a bit threadbare then you’ll want to know about this great offer from Rolawn Direct, one of the leading names in British turfing.

It’s offering up to 28 per cent off its Minster Pro turf for anyone ordering before the end of February. Minster Pro is a fine-bladed turf sown using the highest quality fescue cultivars - that makes it drought and shade tolerant and gives it the appearance and characteristics of a putting green.

Of course, not everyone can sustain that sort of lawn - large dogs and small children don’t lend themselves to putting green gardens. If that’s the situation you find yourself in, Rolawn Direct has an offer for you, too.

Its prizewinning Medallion Turf, partnered with its Blended Loam Topsoil, was used in no fewer than 17 medal-winning gardens at the 2007 Chelsea Flower Show, including the best in show winner - and Medallion is also the type of turf it recommends if your lawn is subject to wear from pets and kids.

Happily, Rolawn is offering a 10 per cent discount on Medallion turf and Blended Loam 1m³ bags if ordered online in one transaction and delivered together.

You can find out more about both types of turf - and also browse some useful articles on lawn care - on the Rolawn website here.

  • Herbs - give over a small section of your garden or terrace to herbs and you will never regret it. Here are a selection of Sarah’s favourites.
  • Vegetables - always in high demand and the brilliant feedback Sarah gets from customers has shown that where many used to think that growing veg was too much bother, it is now their favourite part of the garden.
