Get your hands messy and plant a colourful bedding container just in time for summer. We have all you need from the container to the compost – all you have to do is assemble! *bedding availability may vary*

 

 

2. Create your own wildlife pond

Create a hub for life in your garden, not only is it a creative way to have fun, but you can monitor it throughout the year to see the wildlife that your garden attracts. Follow these easy steps to make your own!
