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.

On sale until Wed 26 MayIf 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.

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.

Free £18ish seeds with £8 magazine
Delivered to your door. Plus year's 2for1 pass for 460+ gardens when they reopen
ExpiredMSE Update, 3pm Fri 1 May: Some readers have got in touch to say their magazine delivery has been delayed. We've contacted Mags Direct and it told us the delays are due to Royal Mail dealing with unprecedented numbers of parcels during the Covid-19 pandemic.
If you buy the May 2020 issue of BBC Gardeners’ World magazine, you'll get six free packets of seeds worth £18ish. The magazine is £6.99 at supermarkets/newsagents, or it’s £7.99 delivered online at Mags Direct, until Wed 27 May.
Seeds included with the magazine:
- Calendula 'Nova' - orange flowers
- Cosmos 'Purity' - white daisy-like flowers
- Zinnia 'Early Wonder Mixed' - red/pink/yellow blooms
- Eschscholzia 'Orange King' - orange poppy
- Echinacea 'Pallida' - purple coneflower
- Lettuce 'Salad Bowl' - green leafy lettuce
You’ll also get a card giving 2for1 adult entry to 460+ UK gardens – most of which are currently closed. However, the card's valid for a year until 9 Apr 2021, so it'll be valid at places such as Eden Project and Kew Gardens when they reopen – see below for how the 2for1 card works.
There's also a cheaper £5.99 (or £6.99 delivered online) version of the magazine which comes with the 2for1 garden pass card, without seeds. Alternatively, if you just want to view the magazine and aren’t bothered about the freebies, see how to get two months’ free access to 4,000+ magazines to read offline, which includes Gardeners’ World.

Use the Money Mantras
Before spending, use Martin’s Mantras. If you answer 'NO' to any, then don't buy!
Then ask:
- Do I need it?
- Can I afford it?
- Have you checked prices elsewhere?
Then ask:
- Will I use it?
- Is it worth it?
Free protection for all shopping!
There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
What the * means above
If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.
You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link. For more details, read How This Site Is Financed.
