We're starting to spot the first signs of Spring – well, in between random flurries of snow – and that means it's time to start thinking about gardening. Aldi is: this weekend, there's a whole host of garden essentials as part of their Sunday Specialbuys. And our favourite finds are the mini greenhouses.
Once you've got the right set-up you'll soon be growing your own (you can discover more about that in our guide to vegetable gardening for beginners). Anyways, read on to find out more about these Aldi Specialbuys – and some alternatives if you don't have a store near you.

The beauty of the Small Wooden Greenhouse, £59.99 (above) is that it will work in even the smallest of outdoor spaces – or even on a balcony. Simply prop it up against a wall and make use of its three shelves for plenty of growing potential.
If you're lucky enough to have a vegetable patch, you could also try the Gardenline Natural Wood Cold Frame, £29.99 (below), which allows you to grow protected plants, all year around. And of course, it's big enough to bring indoors.
Both products are FSC approved and easy to assemble, meaning you can get started straight away.
