Wave goodbye to wobbling on ladders as this extendable hedge trimmer gets axed by £60
If you need to upgrade your garden maintenance equipment but don't want to splash too much cash, you're not going to want to miss this gardening sale that could save £60 Thompson & Morgan is currently offering a range of deals on gardening equipment, including products from the beloved brand Garden Gear. This sale includes a 5-star-rated extendable trimmer that would normally set you back a steep £149.99, but which can now be added to your garden shed for the reduced price of £89.99 while this deal lasts. The Garden Gear 900W Extendable Hedge Trimmer is an extendable hedge trimmer that allows you to trim even the tallest hedges without the need for wobbly and unstable ladders or steps. Easily trim branches, stems, and bushes without struggling or straining and with your feet firmly on solid ground, ensuring safe and easy garden maintenance every time. Boasting a maximum cutting length of 0.4 metres, this trimmer can easily cut through stems of up to 22mm in diameter. It is perfectly designed for dealing with awkwardly placed and hard-to-reach hedges and shrubs of almost any height or shape, as it lets you simply add on the extension pole and extend your reach up to 2.5 metres without needing a ladder. You can also adjust the angle of the hedge trimmer by 180 degrees, to ensure you can reach any plant that needs a trim. With a razor-sharp blade that promises effortless trimming, this gadget boasts a range of different safety features incorporated, including a front handle locking knob, blade cover, and safety button, to ensure there's no risk of harm whenever it's used. The position lock lever ensures that it will stay in position until you decide to change the angle, while the shoulder strap is comfortable and attaches to the trimmer to ensure even weight distribution and safe, easy handling. Plus, the red power cord is easily visible among shrubbery and hedges to reduce any trip hazards while you're working. One green-thumbed shopper who picked up this device leaves a glowing review, writing: " Very good extendable hedge trimmer, excellent for our higher bushes. It is quite heavy but it isn't flimsy, very pleased with it so far." Further prasie comes from this buyer who beams: "Easy to put together, cut through the hedge without any problems." Though one customer did share their less than ideal experience, saying: "I started to use the brand-new trimmer and the cutting head stopped working in under two minutes despite cutting only very light foliage. The supplier has sent a replacement which works well, and I am now extremely pleased with the item."

Add a dazzling dash of colour to your garden with this 'massive' powder blue hydrangea plant that's currently on offer for half its normal price thanks to this gardening deal Hydrangeas are beautiful plants that sprout up everywhere in the summer season. They earn pride of place in gardens thanks to their large size and vibrant colours, which transform any outside space into a floral display. A monster of a plant, as they can be expected to throw out up to 30 strong flower heads during their first flowering season in your garden. A wonderful Hydrangea variety with huge flowers, often found in high-class florist bouquets, it has really massive blooms that elevate any garden, border or patio. And right now, green-thumbed shoppers can get their hands on a delicate and stunning pastel blue specimen for half its normal price, as it plummets all the way down to £19.99 in this Gardening Express sale. Hydrangeas offer masses of healthy growth each year and quickly establish, producing massive, bright flower clusters even when planted in a dull, shady spot. This makes them a great choice for sprucing up any area, whether you'd like to brighten a boring border or create a vibrant and eye-catching centrepiece in your backyard. This large-flowered mop-head variety has huge powder blue blooms, up to the size of a football when fully established. These blooms literally cover the plant all summer before fading to an attractive purple-burgundy shade during the autumn season. On heavily alkaline soils, the blooms will turn from Blue to pink and can even be pale lavender mauve somewhere between the two, depending on the soil pH. These are larger plants and great value for a specimen of such size and age. For best results season after season, it's recommended that you cut this plant near ground level over winter each year so you can watch it throw up masses of strong new stems and big blooms each summer. These plants are very strong and ready to grow away with vigour, no matter where you plant them. The special Hydrangeas are guaranteed chunky, healthy plants that will flower well all summer and into early Autumn, so you can enjoy the array of colour in your outdoor area for nearly half of the year. Looking beautiful in summer, these are supplied as fully-established XXXL plants in approx 10 litre containers that are ready to simply be planted and left alone. Sit back and relax and watch as these huge plants transform flower beds, borders or patio planters with their generous size, high yield of flowers and bold colours.
