Green Christmas: 41 Gifts For Gardeners
From beautiful tools and handsome pots to clever kit and horticultural treats, these are the gifts guaranteed to delight the green-fingered this Christmas.
As any green-fingered – or green-fingered-adjacent – person will know, a gardener’s wish list is a wonderfully bottomless thing. There are beautiful tools to wield, seeds to sow, pots to populate and ingenious bits of kit whose existence they may not yet even know about. We have, then, gathered up our favourites – aka the tip of the iceberg – from small horticultural pleasures to books to gifts worth making room for in the shed. Here’s what to put beneath the tree for the horticulturist this Christmas.
FAQs: Gifts For Gardeners
What are the best Christmas gifts for gardeners?
Beautifully made tools, quality secateurs, watering cans, gardening gloves and useful accessories all make excellent presents. For something less practical, consider a special plant, horticultural book or garden membership.
What can I buy a gardener who has everything?
Look beyond the tool shed. An RHS membership, gardening course or flower-show tickets make thoughtful experience gifts, while an unusual plant, beautiful garden object or specialist piece of kit offers something they may not already own.
What are good gardening gifts under £30?
Seeds, plant labels, twine, tool-care products, gardening gloves and small indoor plant-care accessories make useful but inexpensive presents. A beautiful gardening book is another failsafe option.
What are the best luxury gifts for gardeners?
Invest in something designed to last, such as Japanese secateurs, hand-forged gardening tools, a traditional watering can or an heirloom-quality cloche. A particularly beautiful planter or pot also makes a lasting garden gift.
What are good gardening gifts for someone with a small garden?
Choose compact gifts that don't require acres of space: indoor watering cans, houseplant-care sets, seeds for containers, hand tools and small pots all work well for balcony, courtyard and urban gardeners.
Are plants good Christmas gifts for gardeners?
Yes, particularly when you know something about the recipient's garden. Winter-flowering plants, bare-root roses, bulbs and carefully chosen perennials can all make more personal presents than another piece of gardening equipment.
