I popped out to Dobbies today to get ericaceous compost (to replant a blueberry bush into a bigger pot) and saw they were clearing out a ton of plants. I saw these cute dwarf Sansevierias (Snake plant) in wee ceramic pots. Reduced from £9.99 to £1.99!!! I got one for myself and one for my DIL who loves indoor plants. They were definitely clearing space to put out new seasonal stuff. If anyone is looking to get inexpensive gifts ahead of 🎄there were loads of different ones to suit all tastes. Plus fancy plant pots and containers, propagators etc all half price or less. Maybe check out any garden centres in your area if you don't have a Dobbies.
I got £84.93 worth of plants for £15.23!!! 2 echinacea plants, a salvia, pansies and violas (they were each 39p a tray!!) to put in my front garden. Although technically they were all free as I'm still using the amazing gift card my colleagues gave me when I retired!
What a brilliant haul-I was also given Donnie’s vouchers from the children when I retired. All the best plants in our garden have come from the sale trays. Catriona
ReplyDeleteI can't remember the last time I paid full price for a plant! :-) xxx
DeleteThat's a lot of plants for very little money! Well done.
ReplyDeleteI was amazed they had so many and not in need of much tlc as well! :-) xxx
DeleteBargain!
ReplyDeleteI know! I was so happy with them all :-) xxx
DeleteIt's definitely the time to buy reduced plants before all the Christmas displays begin. Hubby works at B & Q p/t and is always coming home with cheap plants. He says loads get dumped into the skip if they are not sold. Such a waste .
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame they get dumped. I'd take them instead :-) xx
DeleteFantastic bargains! I can't resist cheapy plants and I swear that they do better than the ones I pay full price for.
ReplyDeleteI think so too!! It's like they work harder to survive! :-) xxx
DeleteSome brilliant bargains there. :-)
ReplyDeleteI hit it at the right time I think :-) xxx
