KITCHEN GARDENERS SAVE PLENTY

As ‘Austerity Britain’ stages a comeback and financial cutbacks mean that value-for-money becomes ever more important, an increasing number of people are turning to growing fruit and vegetables as a means of saving money, getting valuable exercise and even creating community spirit.  We are backing the move and are determined to help both new and experienced gardeners to cut the cost of producing their own delicious and nutritious produce.  We have therefore widened our range of money-saving seed and plant collections.  We appreciate there will be belt-tightening and this year we have made an even greater effort to ensure our customers benefit from our very best varieties at really keen prices.  We are determined to help them get the best from their kitchen gardens and to save money in the process.   

The range of collections will appeal to everyone from those with large allotments to the patio gardener.  The Supersize Allotment Value Collection satisfies the keenest vegetable grower, featuring a huge range of seeds, plus onion sets, shallots, garlic, seed potatoes and sundry items. The collection price of £79.99 represents a saving of more than £30 on its normal price of £110.58.  Anyone with a smaller allotment or vegetable plot will appreciate the Ultimate Allotment Collection, priced at just £49.99 rather than the normal price of £74.05.  Both collections are delivered in one shipment in January 2011. 

Those with a small plot or who garden in patio containers will appreciate the Ultimate Patio Collection of carefully selected varieties well suited to growing in smaller spaces.  It even includes Potato Tubs and some strawberry plants.  The Ultimate Patio Collection is offered at just £34.99, a saving of more tan £16 on its list price of £51.57.  It is delivered in one package from January 2011 onwards. 

D. T. Brown is well-known for our wide range of onion sets, shallots and garlics, several of which are available as money-saving collections in addition to being offered individually.  For example a collection of 250gm each of heat-treated Onion sets Red Baron and Hytech are offered at £5.90, a saving of £1.00, while Garlics Albigensian Wight, Chesnock Wight and Elephant are offered as a collection for just £10.15, saving purchasers £5.00. 

Fruit growers can also benefit from some attractively priced collections, such as the All Season Blueberry Collection of Earliblue, Brigitta and Toro, which is priced at £19.90, giving gardeners three for the price of two.  Strawberries, raspberries and gooseberries are also offered as collections.  The Ultimate Soft Fruit Collection of nine different varieties is priced at a tempting £64.99, which means a saving of more than £25 on standard catalogue prices.
