Pop Sensations

Easy Baskets – The easy way to plant a basket or container.
Many customers have been asking when our first delivery of Easy Baskets are due. They are also referred to as Pop Easy Baskets. They are due in today (YAY!) and demand is bigger than ever. (YAY again!)

This is because many customers buy Pop Easy Baskets every year as the results are so, so good. If you’re looking for beautiful summer hanging baskets then this is the perfect product for you. The hanging basket planter are little miracles of magic – a pre-grown ‘insert’ with a choice of 15 different designer themes to suit every taste or colour way.

From Bridal Bouquet (one of our best sellers, and shown on the left of the main pic, with its starting point look) to bold colours of Bollywood, Berry Swirl and Heatwave. Easy Baskets POP and are so simple, look, there are just four easy steps:
1. Shop
Come to Whilton Locks Garden Village and pick your pre planted insert. There are 15 to choose from.
Check out our choice of baskets and containers and grab a bag of multipurpose compost.

2. Pop
At home, fill a hanging basket, or container with the compost leaving a 5cm or 2″ gap at the top. Pop your pre planted insert in.

3. Easy
Water well… and watch.
The plants are fully charged with feed and in a few weeks your little Pop plants will burst into colour. Your Pop plants will be WOW!

4. Peasy
Be amazed. Whilton Locks Pop Easy Baskets flower all summer and are so easy peasy to do. Done in just four simple steps (or five if you stop for a slice of cake in our Canalside restaurant). Blooming marvellous – blooming easy – and available right now.
Pop on over this weekend.

…and before we pop off… Summer.

Pop Sensations (Reprise)

50 years ago this week ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest with their debut single Waterloo. So we thought an ABBA inspired finale was required. So, Super Troupers, POP on your platforms and fit back into your flares and sing along, ’cos this one is all about you:

You’re something special, have we ever told you before?
We love you on the web and when you come visit our store
You say one our talents, what you like the most
Is reading our updates and things that we post
We’re so grateful and proud
All we want is to sing it out loud*
So we say
Thank you for the sharing, the things we’re writing
Thanks to all (it’s quite exciting)
Who can give a comment? We ask in all honesty
Who will it be?
Without a reply or a like, what are we?
So we say thank you for the caring
Love W, L, G and V

Always good to finish on a song!
See you soon
Whilton Locks Garden Village

*and in tune!
