July has arrived in full bloom, and here at Hilltop Garden Centre Clacton, we’re soaking up every sunny moment — and helping you do the same with some brilliant new offers in-store. Whether you're looking to add colour to your pots, light up your patio, or simply relax in style, we've got just the thing for your garden (and a few treats for you too!). As a family-run Essex garden centre with over 75 years of experience, we know what makes a summer garden bloom — and we love helping our community get the best out of the season.
Here’s a round-up of our top offers this month…
Jumbo pot bedding – £3.99 or 3 for £10
Nothing says summer quite like a splash of colour in every corner of the garden — and our jumbo pot bedding plants are the perfect pick. Grown in generous 13cm pots and priced at just £3.99 each or 3 for £10, they’re ideal for quick, instant impact in borders, baskets, or containers. Whether you love bold reds, sunny yellows or soft pastels, you’ll find a huge selection to choose from here at our garden centre in Clacton on Sea. Just grab a few pots, pair them with some Rocket Gro basket & container compost and you’ll have a dazzling display in no time.
Swing into summer with our Pacific Outdoor Swing Chair - just £225!
Imagine gentle shade, a cold drink, and the comfort of a swing seat… Heaven, right? Our Pacific Outdoor Swing Chair is a customer favourite — and now’s your chance to save big. Usually £299, it’s now available for just £225 while stocks last! With its sleek design and sturdy build, it’s the perfect addition to your summer set-up. Come and give it a try and picture yourself relaxing in style (maybe with a slice of cake from Floral Days Café in hand!).
Home-grown Geraniums – only £2.99 each!
One of the joys of being a family-run garden centre is that we can grow so many plants ourselves — and this month, our home-grown geraniums are looking fantastic. These classic summer bloomers are just £2.99 each, packed with colour and perfect for pots, beds or borders. Geraniums are wonderfully low-maintenance and flower right through the summer months. But be quick — when they’re gone, they’re gone!
