Aldi is selling £12 feature that will transform your garden into a cosy retreat
ALDI fans are racing to snap up a bargain buy, that will turn your garden into a cosy retreat for just £12.
With the weather set to remain warm and pleasant this week, and blue skies looking like they are here to stay, many of us will be counting down the hours until we can finish work and head into the garden.
However, after the long and cold winter, you may find that your garden is in need of a bit of a spruce up.
You may think that giving your garden a mega glow-up will cost an absolute bomb, however, with bargains from the likes of Aldi, you can make it look elegant and sophisticated on the cheap.
Sharing an absolute steal of a buy to Facebook, one shopper proudly said: “I bought these solar lights last year at Aldi (they are back there right NOW).
“They are very good quality.
“Put off great light all year round.
“Better than anything I found on Amazon.”
The solar lights are priced at £12 and are guaranteed to make your garden look like a cosy haven.
They come in a pack of four and are charged up by the sun, so there’s no need to faff around with wires and electricity.
Simply place them in the garden and as the night sky darkens, watch as they illuminate your garden, transforming it into a magical fairy land.
You are sure to be the envy of friends and neighbours when you invite them over for garden parties, and they are even perfect for relaxing alone by the fire pit at night.
And the Aldi lights aren’t the only bargain garden buy shoppers have been raving about lately.
Recently, Facebook user Emily Barratt revealed how she transformed her garden on an extreme budget.
She explained that she purchased an extra large planter from B&M for £17.99.
She also purchased a smaller B&M planter, for £12.99, and placed the smaller planter inside the bigger one, alongside some bricks, and soil.

Nick Grey, Gtech Inventor and CEO shared the tasks to crack on with as Spring arrives.
1. Clean your garden
Make sure to clear away all leaves, soil and plant debris from your patios and flower beds; this creates a healthier environment for new growth, especially as we get into the summer months. Gtech’s Garden Safety Kit includes durable gardening gloves and safety glasses; perfect for comfortability whilst tackling those outdoor tasks.
2. Weeding
Early Spring is the best time to tackle weeds; if you can introduce some regular weeding into your routine, you can guarantee a tidy garden all year round.
3. Hedge maintenance
Spring is the ideal time to tidy up overgrown hedges and shrubs, as regular trimming ensures healthy growth and reduces pest issues. Using a tool like the Gtech Lightweight Hedge Trimmer can help to keep your greenery looking sharp and neat.
4. Composting
Starting a compost heap this spring is a pro-active, cost-effective way to harness nutritious soil for your plants and recycle organic waste that will benefit the overall health of your greenery and foliage.
5. Look after your lawn
Lawn care is hugely important in assuring your garden stays looking beautiful. Make sure to rake away any excess leaves and trim your grass routinely.
Emma then picked up some fake B&M potted plants – with prices starting at £1 – and cut them up into individual stems.
“It worked out cheaper than buying individual pots,” she said, in a video posted to Facebook.
Emma stuck the stems into the space between the two pots, creating a stunning fake flower bed.
She then placed some old gravel that she already had in the top plant pot, alongside a solar fountain.
Showing off her DIY masterpiece, Emma turned on the fountain, and revealed how she had transformed the plant pots into a stylish water feature.
She said, “I really can’t wait to share more of the garden; it’s coming together so nicely! “
