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.
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.
- Insulated flasks are ideal for gardeners who spend hours outdoors. They’re also perfect for days out, helping reduce the need for disposable cups.
-
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.
- Slate plant labels are both stylish and practical. They can be wiped clean and reused season after season, making them a sustainable choice.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Solar-powered garden lights are easy to install, energy-efficient and instantly add atmosphere to outdoor spaces — even in the darker winter months.
- Paper pot makers are ingenious, allowing gardeners to make biodegradable seedling pots from old newspapers or scrap paper.
