I gave my boring garden a bougie spruce up using cheap buys from Home Bargains – I got so much done for just £50
IF you're looking to transform your garden, then chances are you'll already know it can often end up costing a small fortune.
But rather than fork out on getting a professional in, one savvy woman has revealed how she managed to give hers a super bougie makeover on a budget.
And perhaps the best part of all? It cost just just £50 - and it's all thanks to cheap purchases from none other than Home Bargains.
In the clip posted to TikTok (), she offered her social media followers a glimpse into her new and improved outdoor haven.
Amongst the bargain buys includes 'The Outdoor Living Collection Metal Leaf Hanging Wall Art' from the bargain store which she added to her fence.

And, priced at a very reasonable £12.99, it's little surprise it's currently out of stock.
Not stopping there, Leigh also accessorised her outdoor haven with a stunning solar-powered warm light that people have raved is "absolutely perfect" for the summer months.
The super stylish tall black light holder is ideal for illuminating any garden and also features a black or marble concrete base - meaning there's no risk of it falling over in the unpredictable British weather.
Alongside the video, she penned: "£50 GARDEN DECOR INSPO.

June gardening jobs
The Sun's Gardening Editor, Veronica Lorraine, has shared the tasks you should take this month.
Stake out leggy perennials
With all the dramatic weather we've been having, it's definitely time to stake out your leggy perennials (the ones that come back every year). Heavy rain and growth spurts, can make them collapse and flop.
Picking out the slugs and snails
Hopefully as we move into summer they will do less damage as the plants get bigger. The best way is still to go out at night with a head torch to find them.
Pick elderflower heads
You can use them to make your own cordial, or add to cakes, champagne or even fry them in batter.
Get on top of weeds
It's around now that weeds really ramp up in the garden, so keep on top of them with hoe-ing - or just the traditional 'on your knees with a hand fork'. Try and avoid chemicals - remember weeds are just plants in the wrong place.
Up the mowing
You'll need to mow your lawn weekly now - if you've got time, weed it beforehand as once you mow you chop off the leaves and its harder to see them.
Check on your tomatoes
Your tomato plants will need attention - water, feed and regularly and pinch out the sideshoots.
Chelsea Chop
There's still time for the Chelsea Chop - plants like Rudbeckia's, Asters, Penstemons, Sedums and other perennials can be cut back by a third to help them get a bit more bushy, and prolong the flowering period.
Sort out your tulips
If you can be bothered and have space - lift and story your tulip bulbs to ensure colour next Spring.
Deadheading your roses
Take them down to the first set of healthy leaves - which will ensure more flowers for longer.
Enjoy your space
Take some time to sit and enjoy your garden or outside space - it's great for your mental health. Even just a few minutes a day can make a big difference.
"Absolutely loads to do here but it was nice to make a little space for us to enjoy in the meantime!"
The video has since garnered thousands of views and several comments, with many praising Leigh on her budget garden makeover.
"Cute!" praised one impressed social media user.
A second commented: "Perf," followed by several love heart eye emojis.
