If you click a link with an * to go through to a provider, we may get paid. This usually only happens if you get a product from it. This is what funds our team of journalists, and keeps us free to use. Yet there are two crucial things you need to know about this.
- This never impacts our editorial recommendations – if it's in, it's in there because we independently rate it best.
- You'll always get as good a deal (or better) than if you went direct.

Valid at 390+ UK gardens
If you buy the May 2022 issue of BBC Gardeners’ World magazine, it comes with a pass giving 2for1 adult entry to 390+ UK gardens. It's £7.50 at supermarkets and newsagents until Wed 25 May, or while stock lasts. Alternatively, it’s from £9.75 delivered online at Mags Direct if you can't find a copy in-store.
The pass is valid at Kew Gardens, Leeds Castle, Warwick Castle, The Alnwick Garden, 38 National Trust gardens and hundreds more. You can use the pass as many times as you like and it's valid for a year until 7 Apr 2023 – see 'More info' below for how the 2for1 pass works.
The Eden Project isn't included this year. It's been one of the popular 2for1 gardens in previous years, but Gardeners' World has confirmed it is not included this time.
The magazine also comes with six free packets of seeds normally costing about £14 (except in Northern Ireland, you'll only get the 2for1 gardens pass).
Seeds included with the magazine:
- Zinnia Jazz, usually £2.55
- Gypsophila Covent Garden, usually £2.65
- Parsley Flat Leaf, usually £2.15
- Lettuce Salad Bowl Red/Green, usually £2.15
- Basil Sweet, usually £2.15

Free £13ish seeds with £7 magazine (or £8.50 delivered)
Plus year's 2for1 pass for 340+ gardens
ExpiredIf you buy the May 2021 issue of BBC Gardeners’ World magazine, you'll get six free packets of seeds normally costing £13ish. The magazine is £6.99 at supermarkets/newsagents until Wed 26 May (though it's extremely popular and as the magazine has been available since mid-April, it's likely sold out in many places). Alternatively, it’s £8.50 delivered online at Mags Direct – and that's how you're more likely to be able to get one now.
Seeds included with the magazine:
- Cosmos Candy Stripe, norm £2.40
- Lettuce Lobjoits Green Cos, norm £1.85
- Rudbeckia Gloriosa Daisies, norm £2.40
- Sunflower Evening Sun, norm £2.40
- Parsley Giant of Italy, norm £2.15
- Carrot Chantenay Red Cored 2, norm £1.90
The magazine also comes with a card giving 2for1 adult entry to 340+ UK gardens – with current restrictions, many may not be fully open, eg, Kew Gardens, and some are still temporarily closed. However, the card's valid for a year until 8 Apr 2022, so it'll be valid when they reopen – see below for how the 2for1 card works.
Note the Eden Project isn't included this year. It's been one of the 2for1 gardens in previous years and we'd originally been told it was this year, but Gardeners' World confirmed to us on Thu 15 Apr that it's not included.

Free £16ish of seeds and £4 gardening gloves with £7 magazine
At Sainsbury's. Or, get £4 pack of seeds & gloves free with £6 version elsewhere
ExpiredFrom Thu 28 May, if you buy the June 2020 issue of BBC Gardeners’ World magazine at Sainsbury's (in store, or online), you'll get six free packets of seeds that would normally cost £16ish. You'll also get a free pair of lightweight gardening gloves Gardener’s World says would normally cost £4.
The special version of the magazine is £6.99 at Sainsbury's only, until Wed 24 June. Of course, we can’t guarantee there’ll be stock at your local store, so you shouldn’t make a special trip just for the magazine.
Freebies included with the £6.99 magazine at Sainsbury’s:
- Aquilegia 'Lime Sorbet' seeds – pale green/white flowers in summer, norm £3.60.
- Five packets of edible flower seeds – calendula 'touch of red', garlic chives, lettuce 'red & green salad bowl', cornflower 'double blue', nasturtium 'trailing mixed'. Norm £12.65.
- Lightweight gardening gloves, norm £3.99.
There's also a version of the magazine (shown in the right-side image above) which comes with just one packet of free aquilegia ‘lime sorbet’ seeds (norm £3.60) and the gardening gloves for £5.99 elsewhere.
The magazine (not the Sainsbury's exclusive) can be ordered online for just £1 more than you’d pay at the supermarkets from Mags Direct – but do be aware, we've heard reports that magazines are taking a long time to be delivered. So if you can get a supermarket delivery, it might be worth adding the magazine to that if you'd like it.
