B&M’s £30 flower wall is the perfect way to update your garden
With the countdown to 29 March well and truly on, it’s time to give your outdoor space a spruce up
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.While the weather might not be as warm as we’d like, the prospect of alfresco gatherings is on the horizon and the countdown to 29 March very much on.
The lockdown roadmap stipulates that as of this date, the coronavirus restrictions will be eased, meaning we will be allowed to meet outfoors in groups of up to six people from multiple households or an unlimited number of people from two households.
So, those lucky enough to have outdoor space should probably get thinking about how they’re going to get their garden ready for post-lockdown entertaining.
Perhaps you’re thinking about investing in a new barbecue, patio heaters or comfortable seating. But, what if we told you there was a way to add a little glamour to your garden, which would allow you to release your inner Kardashian in the process?
Thankfully, affordable homeware store B&M has launched a £30 flower wall that feels very “Kylie Jenner pregnancy reveal video”, and we’re here for it. By the looks of things, we’re not the only ones excited by this, because shoppers have shared their delight on social media – with one user sharing a photo alongside heart eye emojis.

It’s come just in time for spring and summer garden parties (remember those?) and we think this is a must-have, particularly if you’ve neglected your garden a little over lockdown.
Each pack comes with four panels, each measuring approximately 50cm x 50cm. As they’re only available in-store, in honour of all things chic and shoppable for your garden, we’ve also found a selection from other retailers that you can order directly online – thank us later.
You can trust our independent round-ups. We may earn commission from some of the retailers, but we never allow this to influence choices. This revenue helps us to fund journalism across The Independent.
