Shoppers race to Aldi to grab the perfect buy to elevate your garden and you’ll get change from a tenner
ALDI fans are racing to stores to pick up a must-have buy to elevate the garden.
With summer just around the corner, we’re all trying to make the most of our gardens and this bargain buy is the perfect addition.
One eager shopper shared the buy coming to stores later this week on social media.
Taking to Gardening On A Budget, Yvonne Courtney, shared the buy with the group’s 450k members.
She said: “For those of you who are asking about solar fountains, Aldi will be having them next week!”
The image showed a solar fountain to create a water feature in the garden.
The budget-friendly item can be bought either curved or angular, depending on the type of pot you want to put it in.
Each of the solar fountains come with seven spray patterns.
The best part is that it will cost nothing to run as it runs off the sun and costs just £6.99 to buy.
The garden decor comes into stores this Sunday, so if you want it for yourself, head to your local Aldi early.
Also up for grabs on Sunday in the German retailer is a stunning mosaic bird bath for £17.99, as well as a pack of four solar path disc lights for £9.99.
For green-fingered folk, Aldi is also selling a heap of gardening essentials.
Gardening gloves can be picked up for £1.99 as well as pruning shears for £3.99.
Those who saw Yvonne’s post were eager to get the garden buys for themselves.
One person wrote: “I want one or two.”
Another commented: “This would look cute.”
8 must-have plants to brighten up your garden
Nick Hamilton owner of Barnsdale Gardens has shared his favourite plants and flowers you should consider adding to your garden, borders and pots.
Tricyrtis
A spectacular plant that gives a real exotic feel to any garden with its orchid-like, spotted flowers giving the impression that this plant should be tender but it is “as tough as old boots!”.
Penstemon
I love this plants genus of because most will flower all summer and autumn. They’ll grow in sun or semi-shade in a well drained soil and produce a non-stop display of tubular flowers in an array of colours and colour combination to suit all tastes.
Luzula sylvatica ‘Marginata’
With the evergreen leaves edged with yellow it’s great asset is that it
will grow in sun or shade in any type of soil and is great as groundcover in the hardest spot to fill – dry shade.
Eryngium x zabelii ‘Big Blue’
A stunning, nectar-rich plant that will feed the beneficial insects in your
garden. Leave the flowerheads once they have turned brown because they look stunning with winter frost and snow, extending the plant’s interest period.
Sarcococca hookeriana ‘Winter Gem’
If you need winter scent then look no further than this compact, evergreen shrub. The scent is stunning and the evergreen leaves create an excellent backdrop for the summer flowers.
Cornus sanguinea ‘Anny’s Winter Orange’
A dwarf version of ‘Midwinter Fire’ the very colourful stems create a stunning winter display, particularly on sunny days.
Rosa ‘Noisette Carnee’
A very well-behaved climbing rose that is perfect for training over an arch, pergola or gazebo. The small, “noisette” flowers are blush-pink and produce the most amazing clove scent constantly from June to November.
Sanguisorba hakusanensis ‘Lilac Squirrel’
I’ve never seen a squirrel with a drooping, shaggy lilac tail, but this variety will give your garden an unusual and different look throughout summer. It does need a moisture retentive soil but will grow in sun or semi-shade.
“Keep your eyes peeled,” penned a third to a friend.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “I need a couple, mine broke.”
“They have the pot in stores now,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “We need one.”
