Gardens have many functions – they are a nice place to relax or to have a barbeque when we actually have a summer, they are an attractive feature of a home, and they can be an enjoyable hobby. As a hobby, gardeners love to watch things grow, and giving them a helping hand when they need it. Here we have a collection of gardening gift ideas for any lady who loves this aspect of gardening.

The first thing required is something to grow in the first place. Our Grow It range of gardening gifts can give your garden enthusiast a new project to enjoy. They will love the challenge of trying something new, and the results they get when it goes well. For attractive or purposes, we have sets available for growing Bonsai Trees and Carnivorous Plants. The latter is great for helping to get rid of unwanted flies in your home, and this set contains the seeds needed to grow a Venus Fly Trap and Pitcher Plant, as well as five starter growing pots, five natural coconut husk compost discs, five wooden plant markers and tips on how to grow the plants.

If your mother, grandmother, sister, auntie or friend is also a keen cook, then ...
... our Grow It Fruit Selection, Herb Garden and Vegetable Patch packs will be the perfect Christmas gift for them. Each pack contains the same coconut husk growing pots, compost discs, plant markers and tips mentioned above, as well as the packets of seeds needed to grow different herbs, vegetables or fruits.

For anyone who doesn’t have a large garden, but still dreams of growing vegetables or herbs, we have a selection of Rocket Gardens which make great gardening gifts. With nine different variations on offer, you buy this gift as a voucher which can then be redeemed whenever the recipient chooses. Therefore, if you buy this as a Christmas gifts, the person needn’t worry about the plants suffering from lack of daylight or cold temperatures. When they choose to redeem, they will receive a garden in a box, full of baby organic vegetable and herb plants.

Having planted the seeds or plants, the next step is to keep them growing with optimum conditions. Our animal-shaped watering cans are one of our favourite gardening gift ideas for this purpose. With different animals for different sizes, these can be used for any size garden, or even if you only have indoor plants. When not in use, they also become an attractive feature of any garden or windowsill, as well as being fun to use.

Another thing your green fingered relative or friend will want is to prevent the birds from ruining her hard work. In this case, the Birds Away Gift Set is ideal. Rather than hanging unattractive CD discs above the area you want to protect, this set features trowel and fork shapes plus 5m of jute twine for hanging them on. These shapes are shiny and will reflect the light and flutter in the wind, scaring away any birds from eating the seeds or baby plants.
