Chances are you know someone who loves their plants so when you’re looking for their Christmas, birthday or anniversary present you can’t go wrong with a garden-inspired gift.
The good news is that gardeners are the easiest people to buy for because not only do they often enjoy experimenting with new seeds and tools, they are always running out of supplies such as twine, labels and plant food. If only everyone was so easy to please!
Here are some ideas for great gardening gifts:
What Type Of Garden Do They Have?
It’s worth thinking about what type of gardener you are buying for and what they need. Allotment holders often need to double up on tools and seeds, and a flask or a lunch box is a good idea too. Gardeners with limited space will appreciate extra growing areas such as containers, trellis, a mini greenhouse or cold frame. A small covered tray for the windowsill with herb seeds is a great all year round gift for anyone. Novice gardeners will be pleased with growing guide books and calendars while the experts might like heated propagating equipment, composters or even a garden waste chipper.

Seeds
It goes without saying that gardeners like plants and they often like trying out new seeds such as black-podded beans or white strawberries.
If you can find new varieties, disease resistant types of their old favourites, or unusual seeds they make exciting, inexpensive gifts that are sure to light up their day.
Tools
Every gardener needs small trowels and forks preferably in bright colours because they blend into the scenery and become lost very quickly. A new pair of secateurs or a pair of shears always goes down well.
Other small tools make great presents too because they are relatively inexpensive and always well received. Dandelion weeders, cutting knives, handheld hoes, bulb planters, a misting spray bottle and something to carry them around in such as a holster makes a thoughtful and practical gift.
Something gardeners always need are cloches to protect plants against insect and bird attacks, and plant supports to prevent vines and blooms drooping into the mud. They can never have too many of these.
If you have time collecting up the smaller bits that gardeners are always running short on or losing such as twine, plant labels, plant food, pencils, a blade sharpener, cane toppers, module trays and potato sacks are sure to please them.
Clothing
Gardeners love being outside but our changeable climate means they need the right clothing to stay comfortable. In the summer seasons gardeners need plenty of t-shirts because they get dirty quickly, but in cooler months hoodies are a good idea because they provide an extra layer of warmth and the hood can be pulled up to shelter from the chilly winds.
One item that every gardener appreciates is a new pair of gloves because there are many types of garden job. Choose a soft leather pair for a gardener that loves prickly bushes such as roses, a sturdy waterproof pair for root vegetable growers and long-sleeved gloves for gardeners who get stuck into the hedging.
A multi-pack of simple cotton gloves are a lifesaver because gloves need washing after each session. A gardener can never have enough gloves.
Relaxing Gardening Gifts
Gardeners spend so much time digging and pruning that they often forget to sit back and enjoy the view. Gifts that encourage them to stand back and smell the roses such as a novelty garden plaque remind them that a garden is for enjoyment as well as hard work. If your gardener spends time in a shed or greenhouse then a swivel stool or a radio is often appreciated.
Wildlife gardeners will be thrilled with birdhouses and insect hotels, or even a hedgehog house. A big roll of anti-slug copper tape is a big plus for organic gardeners and looks good around pots too.
In the winter months it’s time for gardeners to think about their summer crops and this is when books, monthly planners and journals are useful. If you can find ones with pockets that hold notes or packets of seeds according to the seasons that’s a great find. The summer months are a busy time so getting organised during the cold dark months is important.
Cleaning Up
Gardening is a messy business so you won’t go wrong choosing something to wash, soothe and moisturise.
Posh hand creams for rough skin are essential but if that’s too feminine try a tub of exfoliating granules and a manicure kit. Bath soaks that soothe tired muscles are life-savers and boot scrapers or those bristle back objects that remove mud before its trailed through the house are top garden gifts too.
Green-fingered gifts are the perfect choice for your gardener because each season brings new challenges that require tools, clothing and seeds. Whether you choose beautiful or practical your gardener will be delighted with a garden gift.
