For the practical gardener

Some of us prefer pretty to practical. Not these hands-on gardeners. If it’s not functional, it will gather dust in a forgotten corner of a cupboard. The Eva Solo Outdoor Thermometer will allow them to read the outside temperature from indoors.

For the flower lover

The Lechuza self-watering planter is for a special friend who always has fresh flowers in his or her home. Its irrigation system ensures that plants get enough water for up to 12 weeks. Make the gift extra special by planting it up with a festive red amaryllis.

For the newbie

The Nasturtium Mix and Seeds by MicroGarden is great for “green” gardeners who want to start growing plants on a small scale. The bag includes a sachet of open-pollinated heirloom nasturtium seeds and substrate mix.

For the naturalist

They spend most of their time in the garden and exude a sense of harmony. Your naturalist friends will appreciate the bespoke, contemporary design of the Love Milo printed paper lanterns. Add a set of scented votive candles to up the ante.
