If you’re looking to get a head-start on summertime gardening and outdoor activities, Lowe’s Memorial Day sale is already here, offering up deals on everything from plants and mulch to patio sets and even ceiling fans.

While it is a Memorial Day sale, most of the items are only on sale through May 25, the Wednesday before Memorial Day. Some items, however, are on sale through Memorial Day weekend, so be sure to check the sale dates if you plan on purchasing an item at a later date.

Take a look at some of the items you’ll find in Lowe’s Memorial Day sale.

Scotts Color Enhanced Mulch

Lowe's

Regularly priced at $4.28, Scotts Color Enhanced Mulch is on sale for $2, for a savings of $2.28. The mulch comes in black, deep brown or red and each bag covers 1.5 cubic feet.

The mulch helps soil retain moisture and naturally prevents weeds, all while adding color to your landscape. With nearly 800 reviews, the mulch has a total rating of 3.5 stars out of 5, with 49% of customers giving it a full 5 stars and 11% giving it 4 stars. While some people weren’t happy with the size of the mulch pieces and others say it loses some color when it rains, most say it freshens up their flowerbeds.

“This mulch is excellent,” one reviewer wrote. “It makes all the flowers around it pop, making it great contrast to your garden! I highly recommend it!”
