If you’re shopping for sustainable gifts for gardeners this Christmas, well you’ve come to the right place. When it comes to gifts for gardeners, there are so many options from the frivolous to the practical, from hammocks to watering cans. As someone who loves to dabble in the garden and strives to live more sustainably, I’ve compiled a mini gift list to delight your green-fingered loved one this festive season.
Garden Museum Bookshop
The Garden Museum explores and celebrates the art, history and design of British gardens and their place in our lives today. The Garden Museum Bookshop sells publications exploring the art of gardening, from exhibition catalogues to cookbooks. If your loved one enjoys sitting in the garden and reading a good book or flicking through a beautifully curated design catalogue, then you’ll not be disappointed.
Royal Horticultural Society Gift Membership
Give the gift of an RHS Membership with the same great benefits as Individual Membership. It’s the perfect gift for a loved one this Christmas. There’s nothing like a walk around an RHS garden to inspire your own green-fingered pursuits. Presented in a beautiful gift pack including a £5 voucher, an annual plant planner, two packets of seeds and a copy of The Garden magazine. Your gift will require activation before use by the gift recipient. Currently on offer for Christmas for just £56.
Nifty Tool Crate & Stool
This nifty multi-functional tool allows you to easily carry your gardening equipment. It’s made from pinewood, which is completely responsibly sourced. There’s enough space to add gloves and small plants, and there’s a comfortable handle. Plus, you can turn it upside down and use it as a stool, so you can sit down while tending to your garden.
Emma Bridgewater Kitchen Garden Wall Calendar
Everyone’s favourite ceramics designer Emma Bridgewater has a fresh, colourful calendar. A selection of garden themed designs are beautifully depicted in Emma Bridgewater’s Kitchen Garden calendar for 2024. Each month has a stunning illustration and a spacious date grid.
Neals Yard Nurturing Hand Cream Collection
When it comes to gifts for gardeners, what could be better than the Nurturing Hand Cream Collection from Neals Yard. The set includes, Bee Lovely Hand Cream, a beautifully nourishing hand cream, with organic and fair trade honey and uplifting orange essential oil. My personal favourite Wild Rose Hand Cream with antioxidant wild rosehips and the balancing aroma of organic geranium and patchouli essential oils. Plus the Geranium & Orange Hand Cream with aroma of geranium and orange essential oils.
Wishing you a very merry festive season.
