Containers and garden sundries hot from the Garden Press Event
Traditional ceramic or metal containers can be too heavy for less able or older gardeners, so I was very impressed by the Woodlodge range of lightweight pots. Woodlodge is the UK’s leading supplier of garden pots, available at more than 2,000 garden centres and retailers. The family business, under Geoff and Michael Wooldridge, has been trading since 1987.
As well as lightweight pots, Woodlodge has lots of new products in its Down to Earth garden sundries range. Brighten up your outdoor living space too – I’m testing out the gorgeous Moroccan vintage-style round solar lamp (£29.99). Read more about Woodlodge’s pots for MIND and Cool Earth.
