For the gardener or non-gardener in your life we have some gift ideas you may just need! Gardening gifts for the gardener who likes their gardening easy or maybe just to get a friend or relative interested in gardening, have a look at the following:

Sunshine GroBox - genius idea! You just dig a shallow “hole” where you want the flowers to grow and then plant the whole box! The box contains bulbs and corms for flowers that bloom in the summer. For further info and to buy, click here.

Similarly, we also have the Spring GroBox - same concept but the bulbs will flower in spring. Click here for further info.

WILDFLOWER PLANTABLE SEEDED MATS

Another great idea for the busy or reluctant gardener. Also good for getting children interested in gardening so if you are a teacher you could maybe consider some wildflower seed mats for a school gardening project which can involve all the children. With wildflower seed mats you simply decide where you want the flowers to grow and the plant the mats, keep moist and leave them to get on with the business of growing!

Alternatively, how about plantable paper you can write or print on? Maybe use the paper for your own Christmas cards!

WILDLIFE GARDENING

It is very important for biodiversity that all gardeners should consider planting and gardening for wildlife.

Planting wildflowers encourages bees, butterflies, moths and birds to your garden. Wildflowers are an important part of our native flora and we should be doing everything we can to plant them - in gardens, schools, community projects, as part of Council planting schemes etc. You will be amazed at the increase in wildlife even a small patch of wildflowers can create. Wildflowers can be bought all year round from The English Cottage Garden Nursery, either as plugs or potted plants. You can also get individual species wildflower seeds and meadow seed mixes from us.

These are just some of the gardening gift ideas you will find on our website. We also sell gardening-related handmade soaps, wildflower windowboxes and lots of other gift ideas! Of course, if you can’t make your mind up we sell gift vouchers to make things a bit easier! We look forward to your custom!
