Sorry, I don't know if there's already a similar thread on Greenfingered Moneysaving but I noticed a bargain in Wilkinson's today and wasn't sure where to post it so here goes...
Stainless steel, wooden handled hand tools reduced from £5 each to £2.50 each while stocks last. I bought the trowel at full price earlier in the year and was surprised how much easier it was to use than my old assorted trowels, which I've realised I'm not using any more. Always a good sign with new tools!
They also had other reduced items to clear which may be of interest to gardeners.
Maybe we can use this thread for other 'garden bargains'?
The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you.
Thanks to everyone who contributes to this wonderful forum. I'm very grateful for the guidance and friendliness that I always receive from you.

    Morrisons are selling their range of wildlife-friendly perennials and shrubs at £1 right now.

    They were good value at £2, so even better with this offer.

    Back form Morries, found Delphinium & Tanacetum for a quid each, time will tell if a bargain or not, but I have always found Morries plants to be good growers

    Selections may be random.

    No tanacetum where I was, but a Eleagnus ebbingei for a quid is well worth it. Just wish they'd had enough to make another hedge, but some of my many cuttings may strike. There's security in numbers!
