The set is worth £70 and includes a table and two chairs, which are ideal for when you want to enjoy your morning coffee out in the garden or catch up with a friend on a summer afternoon. Because the furniture comes in a beautiful duck egg blue, it will also do a great job of bringing an extra dash of colour and style to your garden.

Garden Trade Specialist has teamed up with Haskins Garden Centre to offer this Wooden Tabletop Football Game (£24.99) – perfect for bringing children together, getting them away from digital toys and back to basics! It’s also the ideal game to bring adults together, inspire a bit of fun and games and light-hearted competitive spirit.

Christmas is now an established and integral part of the garden centre offering, providing significant sales in the second half of the year. The popular garden centre group anticipates welcoming 1 million visitors to its four centres across a three month lead up to Christmas. Across all four centres, Christmas gifts, decorations and trees equate to 7.35% of the overall yearly sales (excluding the restaurant). 

As Christmas is approaching faster than we think we are always looking for new creative ways to decorate pour homes a mini Christmas tree is perfect for decorating small rooms, or corners and alcoves of living spaces that are in need of some festive decor.

If you’re looking to stock a more nutritional option for pets than regular food, then the Wilsons Pet Food Cold Pressed range is exactly that – because the lower temperatures used in the manufacturing process mean more of the food’s nutrients are retained within the food than regular kibble which is cooked at much higher temperatures. 

Digestion is also aided as the dry food produced using the Cold Press process has a greater bulk density meaning less is fed by volume – it therefore breaks down quicker in the stomach helping to prevent bloating.
