Promising review: “This mulch is EXCELLENT! It makes all the flowers around it POP, making it a great contrast to your garden! I highly recommend it!” —Big Dave G

Price: $3.33 (originally $4.98, available in three colors)

Promising review: “I love these trimmers. The blades are sharp and the grip is perfect. The easy secure lock button is important and works well.” —Linda

Price: $14.48

Promising review: “They are super light and well designed! I love the drain plate bottom that they have in them. They come in lots of colors. I brought some two years and they are still holding up well and have not faded.” —Plants

Price: $4.68+ (available in four sizes and four colors)

Promising review: “I loved that it was so easy to assemble, sturdy, yet not too heavy to move by myself once the wheels were attached. They even provided a flat wrench for attaching the wheels. It's the perfect size for my needs. I decided to stain and polyurethane one planter and use it only for non-edible flowers. Then I ordered another, which I'm keeping unstained for growing vegetables. We'll see how each holds up to the weather, but so far, I'm very pleased with my purchase..” —Happy Planter

Price: $99.99 (originally $119.99)

Promising review: “Great durability. I love that I can write with a Sharpie on them and erase it with some alcohol and change the name.” —Lily

Price: $2.98

Promising review: “I love the design, the color, and the texture and weight. I did hesitate ordering at first due to the description stating its composition is plastic - be assured it does not look or feel like plastic at all - I am 100 percent pleased! So happy every time I look at it in the garden!” —Dianne

Price: $44.98

Price: $24.42 (originally $27.48)

Price: $226.99 (originally $239)

Promising review: “It came in a sturdy pot, and the packaging was done with care. The soil was still wet so it could go right in the ground. Great!” —Grammys

Price: $23.98

Promising review: “Nice tree that grows large apples. Be aware that Red Delicious Apple trees are not self-pollinating. Two Red Delicious trees will not pollinate each other. You will need another species of apple tree to pollinate properly. Good partners are Gala, Cortland, Gold Rush and Granny Smith..” —captjohn

Promising review: “We love: the light weight of this mower, its cutting ability, ease of storage (upright, even!), and quiet motor. We’ve used this mower a few times since our purchase, and we could not be happier. We love that we can use the same battery for this mower as for our string trimmer, as well — if we need to. So far, so good!” —LarandBri

Price: $449

Promising review: “I have used MiracleGro gardening soil for all my vegetable and herb plants with superior results. Plants thrive in the soil and produce truckloads of vegetables. The soil is easy to break apart - no lumps - and the 2 cu ft bags last a long time when potting individual plants. I use the soil in my garden boxes for square foot garden. It has all the ingredients already mixed in for these types of boxes. I have grown tomatoes, squash (zucchini and yellow), cucumbers, jalapeno peppers, basil, thyme, mint, oregano, echinacea, and a host of flowers.” —WENDY

Price: $4.58+ (available in two sizes)

Promising review: “Love this stuff. It's convenient, easy to use and produces AMAZING results. I've been using Miracle-Gro for several years now and again this year, my potted plants and hanging baskets are the envy of the entire neighborhood. And, I use the liquid Miracle-Gro with a hose applicator for the bedding plants. Most people only dream of having a Green Thumb. Thanks to Miracle-Gro, I do.” —Mike

Price: $14.98 (originally $17.98)

Promising review: “I have a dog that likes to leave burn spots all over the lawn. Instead of leaving them be and having some weed take over, I like to fill the area with a patch of grass. I've tried the stuff that comes in old newspaper shavings and that doesn't seem to work too well. but when I use this ez-seed stuff, it works nearly every time as long as I keep it wet. Usually after 1 week you'll see the grass starting to emerge and within another week the grass is a full grown patch that blends into the lawn. Good stuff.” —DisneyGator

Price: $19.48+ (originally $23.48, available in four sizes)

This set includes a trowel, a transplanter, a cultivator and a weeder.

Promising review: “I love this little package of hand tools for gardening. They're sturdy and fit the hand well. You have a tool to fit all your needs.” —Not for me

Price: $14.98

Promising review: “Great hose. Hose itself as well, as male and female ends are made of quality materials. Already had one for 2 years and it still looks good. Needed another one and didn't hesitate to purchase the same one again.” —DR M

Price: $24.98+ (available in five sizes)

Promising review: “Love this feeder! The birds love it too! They can feed all around the feeder, large and small, it's easy to load with seed and the rain and snow don't get the seed wet!!” —Garfield

Price: $15.98

Promising review: “I bought these to put a pretty barrier between a flower bed and the patio. They are a good weight, easy to attach to each other, and easy to put in the ground. The ground was a little hard because of some roots, so I used a rubber mallet to pound the fence gently. It worked like a dream.” —BeverlyC

Price: $7.48 per 18in H x 16in W piece

Promising review: “The New England White Garden Arbor is a beautiful addition to our backyard. The arbor is sturdy, easy to put together, and a very decorative trellis for our Wisteria vine to grow and climb all over.” —Joe

Price: $348.91

Promising review: “I bought 6 of these to add light and ambiance to my evenings out on the patio while keeping the bugs away. I sprayed it with crystal clear Rustoleum before putting up as I do to all my outdoor metal decor. It's great! If ordering online, you do need to also purchase the stakes to put them in the ground. These are light and kind of top heavy so some of them do not stand straight up, but they do stay put.” —Trish

Price: $14.78

Promising review: “I bought this for our climbing rose bush that gets about 10 feet tall. Hoping it will keep it in check this year. It was easy to put together. Looks beautiful and is very sturdy. Love it so much I bought another for my clematis plant!” —mlvb

Price: $46.49

Promising review: “This is one of the best items I have ever purchased for my patio. I am a true dog lover and I think this piece is so realistic! I enjoy looking out my back door to get a glimpse of our “new puppy." The quality is superb and it is a good weight. I would recommend this sculpture to all my fellow dog parents out there.” —Starree

Price: $29.98

Promising review: “So far, I'm enjoying this potting bench very much. It's just the right height and have plenty of space to be organized while I up pot my seedlings. It's a little lighter than I expected, it blew over during a heavy wind but didn't crack or break.” —JanH

Price: $129.99 (originally $169.99, available in two colors)
