Spring is a great time to sow an abundance of plants such as sunflowers, sweet peas and hardy annuals, to ensure that your garden is in full bloom for the summer.
And Aldi's 50L Raised Bed, is the perfect tool to get you started.
The £19.99 flower bed is a portable plastic greenhouse, perfect for displaying plants on balconies, patios or small gardens.
Its semi-transparent lid turns the raised bed into a greenhouse, providing plants with more heat, to help them flourish.
The product is super easy to assemble, and can easily be transported around the garden, to suit your needs.
And it's even made from weatherproof materials, so you don't have to worry about it getting battered by the rain.
The product is available as part of Aldi's Specialbuys, and can be found in the middle aisle of the supermarket now.
However, as with all Specialbuys, once they're gone, they're gone, so garden lovers should head over the budget supermarket now to avoid disappointment.
In comparison, B&Qs Garden Store Direct Raised Bed is priced at £44.99, making it more than double the price.
The B&Q product also acts as a mini greenhouse and is made with weather resistant materials, however, unlike the Aldi buy, the more expensive bed includes a self watering system, and water level indicator.
Aldi is selling a greenhouse that's the 'best $39.99 ever spent' and perfect for getting your garden ready
More Aldi Bargains
Shoppers will be delighted to hear that Aldi is bringing back its sell out garden range this weekend.
From Sunday, April 27, customers will be able to get their hands on the Rattan Effect Corner Sofa, priced at £199.99.
The bargain buy is easy to assemble, comes with seat and back cushions, and is built with a powder-coated steel frame and UV-protected rattan effect weaving for long-lasting comfort.
What's more, it is hundreds of pounds cheaper than similar products from B&Q and The Range, which cost up to £500.

Nick Grey, Gtech Inventor and CEO shared the tasks to crack on with as Spring arrives.
1. Clean your garden
Make sure to clear away all leaves, soil and plant debris from your patios and flower beds; this creates a healthier environment for new growth, especially as we get into the summer months. Gtech's Garden Safety Kit includes durable gardening gloves and safety glasses; perfect for comfortability whilst tackling those outdoor tasks.
2. Weeding
Early Spring is the best time to tackle weeds; if you can introduce some regular weeding into your routine, you can guarantee a tidy garden all year round.
3. Hedge maintenance
Spring is the ideal time to tidy up overgrown hedges and shrubs, as regular trimming ensures healthy growth and reduces pest issues. Using a tool like the Gtech Lightweight Hedge Trimmer can help to keep your greenery looking sharp and neat.
4. Composting
Starting a compost heap this spring is a pro-active, cost-effective way to harness nutritious soil for your plants and recycle organic waste that will benefit the overall health of your greenery and foliage.
5. Look after your lawn
Lawn care is hugely important in assuring your garden stays looking beautiful. Make sure to rake away any excess leaves and trim your grass routinely.
For anyone planning on hosting guests this early May bank holiday, the Rattan Garden Bar is the perfect purchase to impress friends and neighbours.
It's priced at £79.99 and includes a tempered glass top, a stainless-steel ice bucket, bottle storage and two wine racks.
And no spring bank holiday get together would be complete without a BBQ, making the 4-Burner Gas BBQ a must have buy.
Meanwhile, the Balcony Coffee Setting, priced at £99 is perfect for soaking up the sun in smaller spaces.
It is important to remember to always shop around when buying something like this as you might find a cheaper alternative.
Websites like Trolley and Price Spy let you compare thousands of products across different retailers to find the best price.
Price Spy even lets you see how much an item has cost over time, so you can see if the current price is a good deal.

Gardening Express offers £250 saving on giant 'fantastic quality' Tuscan olive tree
This plant can be placed outside in warm seasons and displayed inside in the colder months Gardeners across the country will be busy getting their outdoor spaces back in ship shape after a long winter. And with summer on the horizon, many with a green finger will be going for a seasonal theme. While Scotland may not exhibit sweltering sunshine like the Mediterranean, that doesn't mean your garden can't take inspiration from sunnier climates. And what better way to do just that than getting some new plants, with one on sale at an impressive steal. Currently on offer for £149.99, down from £399.99, this extra-large, heavy-duty Tuscan olive tree is a steal, saving shoppers an impressive £250. Ideal for planting in large pots in a sun-soaked courtyard or patio, all you need to create your own Tuscan terrace at home is a refreshing glass of Chianti. This giant Tuscan olive tree can also be planted directly into the ground in the garden and is sure to flourish in any well-drained, sunny spot. Featuring elegant, grey-green leaves that stay year-round, along with small, fragrant, creamy-white flowers followed by edible, green fruits, this olive tree is a worthwhile investment, providing an immediate and lasting impact through the seasons. Perfect for a sunny, Mediterranean-style garden, these olive trees grow slowly, boasting a lovely stem and attractive silvery leaves. If you've ever admired olive trees while on holiday, the great news is you can now enjoy your own from your garden. The olive tree blooms during the summer, yielding plenty of green edible fruit that appears in the autumn, ripening to black. Moreover, this tree will endure many years, even reaching a ripe old age of hundreds of years, reports the Mirror. Each year, these olive trees will produce more and more juicy fruit, especially if you can provide a bright sunny position, ideally sheltered from cold winter winds. If you're keen on container gardening, placing your olive tree in the conservatory during the winter months is a wise choice, or positioning it sheltered against the house where it will gain from the warmth and protection of a wall. For those considering alternatives, B&Q offers a two-pack of Olive Trees 5-6ft Tall in Pots for £94.99. Alternatively, Amazon lists a 1.1m olive tree priced at £44.90. Back to this olive tree, happy customers who have introduced an olive tree to their garden are effusive in their praise for this delightful addition. A five-star reviewer exclaims: "All first class. The tree was well wrapped and in very good condition. I have been buying plants from Gardening Express for two years now, and I can say they are simply the best." Another customer enthuses: "Wonderful tree! The size is incredible and seem to be much more expensive elsewhere. The quality of the tree and condition is also fantastic." A satisfied purchaser comments: "Really big trees delivered in great condition. Exactly as advertised. I'm a regular customer and they never let me down." Get the olive tree from Gardening Express.
