Woolworths has revealed the new collectable that will be taking over from the extremely successful Lion King Ooshies.
The supermarket has announced the next promotion will be called Discovery Garden and is aimed at getting children interested in gardening.
The promotion allows shoppers to earn free plants when they spend over a certain amount in store.
“Woolworths is excited to confirm that we will be launching Woolworths Discovery Garden in September, a new collectable designed to give Australians of all ages the opportunity to grow their very own fresh food,” a Woolworths spokesperson said.
“Woolworths Discovery Garden is based on the internationally successful ‘Little Garden’ which has previously been rolled out in countries such as New Zealand and South Africa.”
In the New Zealand Little Garden there were 24 different seedlings available for customers to collect.
The new initiative comes amid a growing debate about plastic waste in regards to supermarket collectables.
But there likely won’t be any issues with Discovery Garden, as the similar promotions all came in biodegradable pots.
The other version of the collectables included seeds for herbs, fruit, vegetables and flowers.
It also included a rare collectable seedling, similar to the rare Simba that was available as part of the Lion King Ooshies.
The exact details around what seedlings will be included in the Australian version are yet to be revealed but more information is expected to be revealed soon.
“We are excited to give Australians the opportunity to engage in the program and look forward to sharing more details of what customers can expect closer to the launch date,” a Woolworths spokesperson said.
