We’re Off for a Breather! AllotMate Essentials Summer Closure Info + Last-Minute Garden Picks

Summer is in full swing, and just like the rest of your garden, we’re taking a little time to recharge! 🌿☀️ From Thursday 3rd July to Thursday 17th July, the AllotMate Essentials team will be on a short summer break.

But don’t worry—we’re still here to help you get those last-minute garden jobs sorted before we go!

📦 Order Deadlines Before We Close

If you need anything dispatched before our short break, make sure to get your order in by 12pm on Wednesday 2nd July. All orders placed after this time will be processed from Thursday 18th July onwards.

🛍️ Last-Minute Garden Picks to Grab Before We Go

Running low on twine? Planning a summer sowing session? Here are some of our top picks to keep your garden thriving while we’re out watering our own pots (and possibly sipping something cold in the shade...):

🧵 Bean & Pea Jute Twine (Green or Natural)

Our bestselling twine is an essential for climbing crops and tidy rows. Soft, strong, and biodegradable—grab a reel while it’s still in stock!

🌿 Garland Plant Halos

The no-fuss way to feed and water your tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers. These clever halos deliver water and nutrients right to the roots, reduce waste, and promote healthy growth.

✏️ Garden Markers (Black & White Options)

Label your latest sowings in style! Weatherproof and reusable, these are a must-have for keeping your patch organised.

💧 Burgon & Ball Watering Can

A summer staple. Beautifully balanced and built to last—watering has never looked this good.

🧤 Dig The Glove – Gardening Gloves

Treat your hands to a glove that actually fits (and looks lovely too). Available in S/M or L/XL—perfect for summer pruning and potting.

🌼 Planning Ahead? Don't Miss These!

Even though we’re closed, July is still a great time to:

• Sow fast-growing salad crops

• Shade vulnerable plants with fleece

• Keep an eye on watering during hot spells

• Add supports to top-heavy blooms or beans
