Our garden has brought us so much joy this year, and we feel very lucky to have been able to escape outside and get some fresh air while gardening during the pandemic.

Although most garden centers are now able to open, it's been great finding plants and flowers to buy at the local supermarket during the weekly shop to add to our garden borders.

Whether you're on the hunt for a hanging basket or small tree, house plants or bedding plants, many supermarkets and DIY shops now offer a huge range of bargain plants, perfect for the garden.

We've rounded up our pick of the latest products and offers on best bedding plants available to buy from a supermarket near you.
