EDITOR’S NOTE: Updated periodically with new products.
Aldi sells so many gardening products that we can’t list them all, but this is a roundup of a few, including many that we’ve personally tried.
Remember, these items are Aldi Finds (Special Buys), so they’re only in stores for a limited time during the gardening season, and stock may be limited. Also, Aldi does not offer online ordering for its specials, so if you can’t find a product in your local store, you’re probably out of luck.
Gardenline Mini Drop-Over Greenhouse
Cost: $16.99.
Thoughts: This measures 34.64″ x 22.83″ x 32.28″ and is a smaller version of a drop-over greenhouse Aldi has previously sold. Good for smaller gardens or anywhere you want to get a head start on or prolong the growing season.

Belavi Mini Raised Planter
Cost: $18.99
Thoughts: This is a smaller metal version of a wooden planter Aldi previously sold. It’s big enough to tuck a couple of plants into it, or it makes a nice potted plant holder.

Ambiano Smart Indoor Garden
Cost: $39.99
Thoughts: This garden features LED lights and a timer and is ideal for growing kitchen herbs. Plant roots sit in a small water tank, but you have to purchase your own seeds and grow sponges/pods/growing medium separately.

Belavi Wooden Raised Planter
Cost: $49.99
Thoughts: This measures 34.25″ W x 18.11″ D x 31.89″ H” and provides an elevated space to grow flowers or veggies. We tried to get one of these on the day specials hit our local store’s shelves, but stock was limited and they sold out too quickly for us to score one.

Belavi Wooden Plant Ladder Stand
Cost: $39.99
Thoughts: Introduced in the spring of 2021 as part of a new Aldi house brand, this stand wooden stand assembles easily with a screwdriver and holds a good number of plants. It’s sturdy and attractive, and the package states it can be used indoors or outdoors.

Gardenline Solar Garden Stake
Cost: $9.99
Thoughts: This solar light was sold in July 2020 at Aldi, and it was available in peacock, flamingo, moon, and flower designs. The solar panel charges during the day, and the light turns on automatically when it gets dark, adding a whimsical glow to our garden.

Gardenline Lattice Planter
Cost: $16.99
Thoughts: This appears to be new to Aldi in June of 2020. Great for providing support for trailing or climbing plants such as cherry tomatoes, peas, beans, morning glories, and more. It sets up easily, stands more than four feet tall, and adds a classy look to any patio, porch, or garden.

Gardenline Stacking Planter
Cost: $12.99
Thoughts: This inexpensive planter lets you take your garden projects to new vertical heights and helps maximize growing space in small places. It’s a good planter that stands nearly two feet tall, with plenty of space for growing fruit, veggies, or flowers, although I wish it came with a drainage saucer.

Gardenline Drop-Over Greenhouse
Cost: $19.99
Thoughts: New to Aldi in the spring of 2020, this is a change from the traditional shelved greenhouses Aldi also sells. It’s ideal for setting up directly on top of garden beds to protect plants from weather and pests. It measures 4.5 feet by 4.5 feet.

Gardenline Walk-In Greenhouse
Cost: $34.99
Thoughts: This appears to be a rebranded Ohuhu greenhouse, and it has plenty of space, from the shelves to the ground space where you can place larger pots. It’s footprint is just over two feet deep and just over four feet wide. The plastic tarp that covers the greenhouse frame is not going to keep things warm enough for year-round growing, but it can give you a few weeks’ head start in the spring. It seems fairly sturdy, too.

Gardenline 18.5 Gallon Tumbling Composter
Cost: $39.99
Thoughts: This is a smaller tumbling composter model, but it’s easy to assemble and easy to use, and it will help divert your kitchen and garden scraps from landfills. In return, you get healthy, rich garden soil or fertilizer for your lawn.

Gardenline Plant Stands
Cost: $9.99
Thoughts: These are smaller than I expected, but they seem to be sturdy and are good for holding a few potted plants. They also were quick and easy to assemble. They’re good to use on patios or porches, or I put them in my sun room.

Gardenline Everbearing Rasperries
Cost: $5.99
Thoughts: This features two raspberry plants packaged in a plastic bag inside a box. They’re not quite like the dormant, roots-only plants Aldi sometimes sells, because these do have some small leaves growing on them. They promise to bear fruit during their first year.

Gardenline Cleveland Select Pear Tree
Cost: $14.99
Thoughts: This is an invasive species that spreads and choke out native species, and unfortunately it can be found for sale at a variety of other retailers like Home Depot and Lowe’s. We strongly recommend not buying this tree.

Gardenline Raised Garden Bed
Cost: $29.99
Thoughts: This is competitively priced and sturdy. It also looks good in my yard and is going on its second season.

Gardenline 4-Tier Greenhouse
Cost: $19.99
Thoughts: This is simple and compact, although the frame pieces pop out easily if you move it to another part of your yard. The plastic is thin, so it’s not for year-round use, but it’s fine for getting a head start on a few plants. The same greenhouse sells for around $35 on Amazon.

Gardenline Garden Soil
Cost: $2.49 for 1 cubic foot
Thoughts: In my experience, this seems to have no noticeable difference compared to Miracle-Gro. The only downside is that you have to fill a grocery cart with soil and haul it to your car, versus pulling your vehicle up to a stack of soil bags and loading them directly into your trunk at a nursery or large garden center. It claims to be natural and organic and to feed plants for up to four months.
Gardenline Heavy-Duty No Kink Garden Hose
Cost: $14.99
Thoughts: This measures 50 feet long. After using it for a season, it is capable of getting kinks like a lot of other garden hoses. It’s not a bad hose, though.

Gardenline PRO Series Hose Nozzle Assortment
Cost: $6.99
Thoughts: This seemed like a good, inexpensive purchase, but it didn’t come with a warranty, and after a few months it stopped working.

Gardenline Ladies’ Garden Boots
Thoughts: These come in assorted varieties in sizes 7-10. I bought a pair for myself. While much of Aldi’s footwear tends to run small, these boots are actually pretty true to size. They are comfortable and easy to slip on when you need to run out to the garden.

Gardenline Fairy Gardening Kit
Cost: $12.99
Thoughts: This is a cute kit, but the box the garden goes in is not leak-resistant, and the garden fence didn’t hold up well in outdoor weather. Otherwise, it’s a fun set.

Gardenline Touchscreen Gardening Gloves
Cost: $6.99
Thoughts: These come in assorted varieties in sizes M-XL. I bought a set of garden gloves from Aldi last year that have held up well, and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy more garden gloves from Aldi.
Gardenline Natural Defense Owl
Cost: $8.99
Thoughts: This is advertised as a natural, environmentally friendly way to scare off pests such as birds, squirrels or mice without using chemicals or pesticides. It claims to be lightweight and multi-functional, and it is quite large.
Gardenline Greenhouse Kit
Thoughts: This is a fun little kit, especially if you have children who want to grow things. You’ll need to transplant your seedlings to a larger space pretty quickly, though.

Suncast Border Stone Edging
Cost: $12.99
Thoughts: This has worked well in my yard for several years. It’s name brand and can be found at other big box stores. It’s your basic, fairly sturdy garden edging.

Do you have experience with any of Aldi’s garden products? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
I really like the raised garden bed, put one in about 3 years ago and it is holding up really well. My husband bought me another one this year. I bought a similar one on Amazon and it was pure junk.
I purchased a gardenline self watering pot how does that work what are the little black plugs for
Purchased Outdoor gas fire column today from Aldi, is there a cover and or glass fire screen available for this 12″ square unit?
Do not buy any soil from aldi especially the lawn top dressing 25L, they are full of mulch and clayish. If you don’t believe me, go try yourself and enjoy the disappointment like I had. Cheers!
Thank you.
