As they celebrate 160 years of helping British gardeners to grow, we’ve teamed up with Dobbies Garden Centres and Fothergill’s seeds to offer every reader the chance to grow their very own Giant Sunflower this summer. Pick up your Express on Saturday 26, Sunday 27, Monday 28 or Tuesday 29 April 2025 to get your hands on this offer!
Now is the perfect time to plant sunflower seeds and brighten up your garden in a matter of weeks, and experience garden living at its best. Pick up a free packet of Sunflower seeds from one of 53 Dobbies Garden Centres across the UK, while stocks last! To plant, all you need is 9cm pots, peat-free compost, bamboo canes and seeds. Simply sow a seed in each 9cm pot with peat-free compost. Start them off on a bright windowsill, planting outside once frosts have finished. Don’t forget to water regularly.
The brand-new Oh Sow Simple range from Fothergill’s aim to make it as easy as possible for everyone to grow their own flowers, herbs and vegetables. And Dobbies’ Green Team are always on hand to offer tips, advice and encouragement on how to grow your own. They also host FREE monthly Grow How sessions which are open to all.
So don’t miss out! Pick up your paper from Saturday April 26 until Tuesday April 29, 2025 to get your voucher and pop into your local Dobbies to pick up your free sunflower seeds, subject to availability.
