And right now, you can add one to your garden for less, as this Gardening Express sale has axed this Corkscrew Boxwood Tree by a massive 50%, saving shoppers £50.
Touted as a high-quality Buxus sempervirens topiary that has been painstakingly crafted into a dramatic corkscrew-spiral shape, this plant takes years of work to grow and create, but that's all been done for you with one of these ready-made topiary specimens from Gardening Express' meticulous gardeners.
Ideal for punctuating any formal or modern outdoor design, this tree is also ideal for gracing and accentuating an entrance to a property when used in attractive planters. Creating a real show-stopping feature, this topiary cypress is the perfect plant to elevate a handsome pot, as it takes pride of place on patios, terraces, or front gardens as a centrepiece.
To create an opulent effect, these spiral trees are perfect for planting in pairs and placing on either side of doorways, gateways, pathways, and entrances. Set to be admired for years to come, these dense and slow-growing trees will keep their shape well, though they can be easily given an occasional trim to ensure their crisp shape is maintained season after season.
Sure to flourish both in sun-soaked areas or in light-dappled shade, these trees are supplied at around 100-120cm tall, including pot, and are ready to be planted straight into the garden or transferred into a luxurious pot to begin growing in its stylish spiral style.
Normally retailing for £99.99, this corkscrew tree is now available for £49.99 at Gardening Express.

IF your garden wall is bringing down the tone of your outdoor space, don't worry. A simple addition can instantly elevate your wall, and you can pick it up for cheaper than ever from B&M. Tall garden walls can make your space feel claustrophobic and cramped. To brighten them up and make your garden feel better, all you need is this affordable ornament. Adding a wall planter to your outdoor space can help create a vertical garden. According to the experts at Atlas Sheds, this step can introduce colour and levels to your garden. "Maximise vertical space with raised beds, wall planters, or tiered garden shelves," they recommended. The pros explained that this will "add levels to your garden, making it appear more spacious and creating more opportunities for plant growth". "Structures like pergolas and trellises can draw the eyes upward, adding height to the space," they added. And opting for vibrant flowers in your fun planter can add even more "character and depth to small gardens". For an "open and airy" feel, they suggested incorporating light blue and soft green flowers into your wall planters. And thanks to B&M, you can add even more personality with a Watering Can Wall Planter. 'I was quoted £10,000 for a garden renovation but did it MYSELF for £1,000 using ChatGPT to show my kids what single mums can do' The bargain retailer has recently slashed the price of this decor item by 50%. B&M shoppers can now pick the wall planter up for just £3 instead of £6. According to its manufacturers, this planter "makes a stylish addition to your garden".

Four simple tricks to make using your paddling pool cheaper this summer
PADDLING pools are an easy way to keep kids entertained over the summer when temperatures are rising. But with the holidays and water restrictions looming, you needn't splash too much cash to cool off. With a few simple tricks you can keep the fun cheaper and going for longer . . . 7 FILLED UP: With hosepipe bans in place across parts of the country, you'll want to avoid refilling as much as possible. Instead keep the water cleaner by popping a washing up bowl with warm water beside the pool to act as a foot bath before kids jump in. And pop a cover over your pool when not in use to stop flies and debris landing in it. You can create one out of an old sheet. — a dark sheet can also help keep the water warm. Help keep the water free from bacteria for a couple of days by using Milton sterilising liquid or tablets. WARM UP: Even on a hot day, the pool can feel icy cold if you fill it up from the outside tap. Rather than faffing around with kettles and boiling water, there is an easier and cheaper solution. Simply place black bin liners over or in the water. The black bags will absorb the heat from the sun and warm the water within an hour. AVOID A PUNCTURE: The laughs will quickly turn to tears if your inflatable pool gets a puncture. Pop an old blanket or towel under the base before filling up to help protect it from little stones that could pierce the plastic. If you have dogs getting in and out the pool, consider popping an old towel across the bottom to protect it from claws. If your pool does get torn, you don't need to chuck it. You can get a repair kit for £4.99 online from Robert Dyas. MAKE USE: You don't need to wait for a scorching day to use the pool. When it is not hot, inflate smaller pools and fill with small plastic or foam balls to create a ball pit. Or you could even use it for some messy play with slime or jelly. How to keep your paddling pool spotless and safe this summer Deal of the day GIVE your humble toaster an upgrade with this four-slice model from De'Longhi. It's down from £69 to £45 at Argos. Cheap treat KEEP your paperwork in order with this coloured A4 document organiser, £3, from Flying Tiger. Top swap 7 GIVE shower time a little luxury with Molton Brown's heavenly gingerlily gel, £26. Or try Lidl's similar scented option for £1.49. Shop & save ENJOY Little Moons Himalayan salted caramel mochi ice cream on a hot day. A pack of six is down from £5 to £3.48 at Asda.
