Where Can I Find Cheap Gardening Supplies Online in Australia 2026?
Where Australians can find cheap gardening supplies online in 2026: comparing unit prices, clearing free delivery thresholds, what Hoselink and Big W offer, and going through ShopBack before you check out.
Short answer. In Australia in 2026, cheap gardening supplies online usually come from comparing the price per unit across a general retailer like Big W and a garden specialist like Hoselink, then building one order that clears the free delivery line, then check out through ShopBack before you pay, where ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code. Hoselink, for example, delivers free within Australia on orders of $99 or more, according to Hoselink at the time of writing. Before you pay, open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out.
ShopBack Australia is a free app and website that gives you money back when you shop online at thousands of stores, including Big W and Hoselink. You open the store from ShopBack, shop as normal, and part of what you spend comes back to your ShopBack account as cash you can withdraw. New members can join free at shopback.com.au/signup.

Where can I find cheap gardening supplies online in Australia?
The cheapest garden order is usually one well planned order from the right store, not the lowest sticker price. A routine that works for most Australian gardeners:
- Make a list for the season. Write down what you need for the next few months (potting mix, seeds or seedlings, fittings, a replacement nozzle, gloves) so you buy once instead of in dribs and drabs.
- Match each item to the right kind of store. Bulky basics often suit a general or hardware store. Watering gear and hose fittings often suit a specialist that carries spare parts.
- Compare price per unit. Per litre for potting mix, per metre for hose, per item for tool sets.
- Clear the free delivery threshold. Garden orders are heavy and bulky, so delivery fees add up quickly. Group items into one order that qualifies.
- Check the returns policy before you buy. A cheap tool that does not suit your garden is only cheap if you can send it back.
- Before you pay, open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out.
Steps 1 to 5 find the lowest price. Step 6 lowers what you actually end up paying for the order.
Where to find cheap gardening supplies: how to tell a real bargain
A garden bargain is the lowest cost per use, which is not always the lowest price on the shelf. Three checks help.
Unit price. Potting mix, soil improvers and mulch come in very different bag sizes. Divide the price by the litres to compare fairly. The same goes for hose (price per metre) and for tool kits (price per tool you will actually use).
How long it lasts. A hose fitting that leaks or a pair of pruners that blunts in one season costs more over a few years than a sturdier one bought once. Warranties are a useful signal. Hoselink, for example, says its Evolve retractable hose reel comes with a 5-year warranty, compared with two years on its Classic reel.
Delivery and returns. A $7.95 delivery fee on a small order can cancel out a cheap price. Check the store's free delivery line and its returns policy before you add things to the cart.
Here is a worked example with illustrative prices (not real shelf prices):
| Item | Illustrative price | Unit price |
|---|---|---|
| Potting mix, 25 litre bag | $10 | 40c per litre |
| Potting mix, 50 litre bag | $16 | 32c per litre |
| Two 25 litre bags on a store special | $17 | 34c per litre |
In this example, the single large bag is the best value per litre, even against the two-bag special. Small differences per litre matter when you are filling several pots or a raised garden bed.
Where to find cheap gardening supplies in Australia: best deals in 2026
The best deals on gardening supplies in Australia in 2026 tend to come from a few places:
- Bundles and sets. Specialists often sell sets that cost less than buying each part on its own. Hoselink, for example, lists watering bundles and shows the saving against buying the parts separately. Compare the bundle against what you would actually use.
- Loyalty programs. Hoselink's Plant Pals program gives points for joining and for every dollar spent online (details below).
- Free delivery thresholds. Planning one larger order instead of several small ones avoids repeated delivery fees.
- Buying the right item once. Replacement parts and longer warranties can save more over a few seasons than a one-off discount.
- Going through ShopBack before you pay. This lowers the effective price of your online orders, as explained below.
Hoselink vs Big W: where to find cheap gardening supplies
Hoselink and Big W suit different parts of a garden shopping list, so the better pick depends on what you are buying.
| Hoselink | Big W | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Australian garden specialist (hoses, reels, fittings, watering, garden beds, tools, solar lights) | General retailer with a Big W range and Big W Marketplace |
| Suits | Watering systems, spare parts, quality hand tools | Garden basics bought with other household items |
| Delivery | Free on orders of $99 or more; $7.95 flat fee below that | Check Big W's delivery options for your postcode |
| Rewards | Plant Pals points program | Check Big W's current programs |
| On ShopBack | Yes | Yes, for both Big W and Big W Marketplace |
Sources: Hoselink's delivery, loyalty and gardening pages, and the Big W and Hoselink ShopBack pages, at the time of writing.
How to compare them on price. Pick the same type of item (say, a hose nozzle or a pair of bypass pruners) and compare the price, the warranty and the delivery cost for your whole order. If you are already buying household items at Big W, adding garden basics to that order may help you reach free delivery. If you are building or fixing a watering setup, a specialist that sells matching spare parts may save money over time.
Hoselink: what the garden specialist offers
Hoselink is a family-owned Australian business that started in 1997 with a hose connector, and now sells a wide range of watering and garden gear online. Hoselink describes itself as Australia's leading online gardening retailer, with more than 50 people at its Sydney headquarters, and its Evolve retractable hose reel is designed and built in Australia.
What you can buy, according to Hoselink's site:
- Hoses and reels: retractable reels, manual reels, hoses and spare parts.
- Connectors: tap connectors, hose joiners, hose end fittings and adapters.
- Watering: sprinklers, sprayers and wands, irrigation and cleaning devices.
- Gardening: garden beds, hand tools for weeding, digging and cutting, protective gear and accessories.
- Solar lights: wall, path, spot and decorative lights.
Delivery. Hoselink says delivery within Australia is free when the products in your order total $99 or more, and orders under $99 pay a $7.95 flat-rate fee. Orders are typically dispatched the next business day and sent by Australia Post eParcel, with delivery expected in 5 to 7 business days (7 to 10 for WA and remote areas). Express Post is offered at checkout, and Hoselink notes that orders are often split into multiple parcels.
Guarantee. Hoselink advertises a 30-day money back guarantee. Check its terms for the conditions.
Plant Pals rewards. Hoselink says you earn 1,000 points just for joining, then points for every dollar you spend online and for other actions. Members can share a referral link that gives a friend a 10% discount and earns the member 1,000 points. Hoselink notes that some tier benefits cannot be used with other discount codes.
Big W: garden basics with your household shopping
Big W suits gardeners who want to pick up basics in the same online order as other things for the home. On ShopBack, Big W's page covers both Big W's own range and Big W Marketplace, and each has its own rate.
A few things are worth checking before you buy garden items at Big W:
- Who sells the item. Marketplace items are sold by other sellers, so delivery times and return rules can differ.
- Delivery for your postcode. Bulky items like potting mix or garden furniture may have different delivery options.
- The unit price. Compare per litre or per item against a specialist on the same day.
How ShopBack lowers the price of your gardening supplies
ShopBack lowers the effective price of your garden order after you pay. The routine is simple: open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out.
Going through ShopBack takes a few seconds and adds Cashback to the same order. Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles. Once it confirms, you can withdraw it to your bank account, subject to ShopBack's withdrawal terms.
How to do it, step by step:
- Open ShopBack Australia (app or website) and search for the store: Big W or Hoselink.
- Check the rate shown on that page.
- Go through ShopBack to the store, add your garden items, and check out.
- Your Cashback shows in your ShopBack account as pending, then confirms later.
Working out what your garden order really costs. Your effective price is what you pay minus the cash ShopBack returns. Say your Hoselink order comes to $120, which clears the $99 free delivery line. Go through ShopBack before you pay and the Cashback, at the rate shown on the store's ShopBack page that day, lowers what the order effectively costs you. The rate varies by store and changes over time.

Codes, rewards and ShopBack
- No code needed. Cashback works like a discount of its own. Go through ShopBack before you pay and it tracks to your ShopBack account.
- Loyalty points. Points programs like Hoselink's Plant Pals are run by the store. Check Hoselink's own site for how points are earned and used.
