Special & Sustainable Gift Ideas For Gardeners

Fed up of giving the gardener in your life yet another generic gardening gift set or perhaps left your shopping to the last minute? Don't panic, take a look at our more sustainable gift ideas they will truly be grateful for.

  1. E-gift vouchers are the safest option if you’re unsure, as it guarantees they can choose a gift they will love. Furthemore, our e-gift cards arrive at the recipients inbox instantly or on a specified date, so they can even be purchased on Christmas day itself!
  2. Ornamental trees and shrubs are a gift that keeps on growing year after year. No two trees are the same, making each one a truly unique present. We may be biased, but our beautiful eco-friendly hessian gift wrapping and handwritten cards add an extra special touch.
  3. Tool sharpeners are a practical alternative to buying tools they likely already own. They’ll help keep existing tools in top condition for years to come.
  4. Insulated flasks are ideal for gardeners who spend hours outdoors. They’re also perfect for days out, helping reduce the need for disposable cups.
  5. Garden visits make a wonderful experience gift. Buy tickets online or, better yet, plan a day out together and enjoy some quality time surrounded by beautiful planting.
  6. Slate plant labels are both stylish and practical. They can be wiped clean and reused season after season, making them a sustainable choice.
  7. Quality bird feed is perfect for gardeners who enjoy welcoming wildlife into their space. It’s a simple gift that brings daily enjoyment through the winter months. If you're not sure if they already have bird feeders, you can buy fat balls with rope hangers.
  8. Make a special "bulb lasagne" in a pot using several different types of flowering bulb to create lasting interest. Once finished, the bulbs can be planted out and the pot reused.
  9. Digital magazine subscriptions are more environmentally friendly and often cheaper than traditional paper versions. Some digital subscriptions even allow access to back issues, making it fantastic value.
  10. Solar-powered garden lights are easy to install, energy-efficient and instantly add atmosphere to outdoor spaces — even in the darker winter months.
  11. Paper pot makers are ingenious, allowing gardeners to make biodegradable seedling pots from old newspapers or scrap paper.
