Recently I got involved with gardening. Preior to that, all I use to do was mow the lawn when it overgrew. However, nowadays, I enjoy making my garden looking beautiful and like to share my success with others.
There are many places where you can buy cheap garden items. For example, I managed to buy some very good tulip bulbs and other flowers at my local pound shop ( pound shops are becoming a bit of a Phenomenon over here in the UK).
Also for good gardening equipment offers, check out Ebay. Soome friends of mine werea bit sceptical, but if you buy from someone with a good rating, you should not really have anything to worry about, but please do make sure you are aware of exactly what you are trying to buy. Incendently, I bought a lawn mower of Ebay and am very happy with my purchase.
Garden centres do tend to offer bargains but I find local fares, charity sales etc offer really good value in this area.
Remember, the good thing about gardening is, once you have planted blubs, purchased a mower, a garden rake etc, you do not tend to need to do so for a very long time. Flowers will blosson year in, year out, and depending on the type you buy, can stay in blosson for many months.
Thanks
