I'm going to the garden centre today. What should I buy?

I want some flowers/plants which don't cost too much, but will last throughout the summer.

I'm going to the garden centre today. What should I buy?
Get more for your money. Instead of buying single potted plants get bulk. Look for ones that come in bundles of four or more in the trays. Then pick the one with the most growth and shoots.





Also try bulbs, like tulips for examle. There you are getting more than one.





Want to spend even less, buy seeds and start them outside or inside depending on where you live. If you have family or friends near by ask it they have any plants they are going to be digging up in their flower beds. Some plants sprend to much over the years and need to be seperated and removed. Also try ground covers that will spread and fill up more space. Snow in the mountain is a good example, it adds different texture to your flower bed as well as a nice natural color. Hope this helps, good luck!
