Dollar Tree just dropped new $1.50 garden products for spring but not all of them are worth your money.
In this video, I tested every new Dollar Tree garden item before filming, so you don’t waste a single dollar on products that fail once you actually use them.
This is not a typical haul this is an honest Dollar Tree garden review with real results.
Some of these Dollar Tree spring garden finds are outperforming products that cost 10–15x more at garden centers. Others? Not worth picking up at all.

The mesh bags would be good for cabbage kale to deter worms
I find every one of them
Yep..in December. I live in Wisconsin. They never have the items at the same time as videos like this
Omg! I live in Southeastern Pennsylvania and I CONSTANTLY See items on Dollar Tree that NEVER get to our area! It is maddening and my biggest issue with Dollar Tree! Most store managers are sympathetic but they cannot order in specific items they get what is sent to them!
The bamboo you show I’ve never seen in the $ stores around here Springfield, Mo. All I’ve seen here are around 12 inches. Some stores are much better than others!
I would love to see some rooting compound in the stores.
Im growing tomatoes and peppers
USA Illinois

I’d like to know what Dollar Tree store has these? Mine doesn’t! Sacramento, CA
Do you mind sharing where you purchased it, I am in s. Ca. just went to 3 locations nearby , none of them carry them , not even 1 item is available! Very disappointing 🥹🥹🥹
Winter Sowing is the BEST seed starting process.
In NC. Growing basic vegetables beans, bell peppers, Cayenne peppers, corn, eggplant green beans, ginger, turmeric watermelon and yellow peppers.
Haven't yet started.. just getting info
After watching this, I went to Dollar Tree. NOT ONE item mentioned was available. The video was posted one day previously. This isn't the first time this has happened.
I live in missouri ! Growing top shelf Marijuana ❤
I would love to see a Dollar Store that looks like your video. Ours (Sacramento) are a mess!
Zone 9-10 in California
Depew, ny SUBURB OF BUFFFALO , NY
I live in central Texas and the Dollar Tree stores in my area don't have some of the stuff you've mentioned. I haven't seen the grow bags, circular shields, coco core discs, right off the opening of the video and I'm so disappointed.
That store is at least 10 times bigger than the ones around here.
E Texas. We're growing potatoes, tomatoes, peppers of all kinds, carrots, onions, trying some corn, blackeyed peas, beans, oka, cucumber and some beans
Actually, putting them out during the day and carrying them back in at night starting in the shade and gradually moving them into the sun it’s a pain in the rear
Ditto I'm in Illinois we never get anything good I've been looking at quite a few locations over the years and its always the same old same old stuff
Cinnamon and honey
would love this better if there wasn't so much AI useless chatter, especially at the beginning. That being said lots of great info and ideas. Lots of these items are not at every store, Went to two stores in michigan and they didnt have the grow bags, the expanding dish drying racks, coco disks, single probe moisturizing sticks, or the bamboo sticks and said they never did so not all Dollar tress have the same merchandise. I was able to find the rest of the products that were mentioned plus Miracle Grow Potting Soil
These items are not in my Dollar Trees. North Carolina
Michigan!!
Dollar tree in Oklahoma City
I live in a small town in mo. And I think we just get what nobody else wants 😂
Live in GA, tried growing Rosemary but couldn’t find seeds at my Dollar Tree!😢
