We're hot on Aldi at the moment, checking back daily to see what garden bargains are cropping up this week. And, have we got bloomin' good news for you! This week we're excited to discover a whole range of Aldi Specialbuys dedicated to family life in the garden. We're talking dens, playhouses and bunting to keep your little ones occupied and your outdoor space decked out for play.
The key to keeping sane this summer staycation is with a garden that is a hub for good times. However, for those of us on a budget, it's not always easy to get all the kit. That's why Aldi is a life saver. From adorable playhouses, to accessories to build a budget friendly den with sheets (or their den kit), everyone can find something to suit their space. Keep scrolling to see why and be sure to head over to our dedicated page to find more garden ideas in our feature when you're done!
