Gifts for the gardener in the family

A gardener's favourite gifts tend to live outside rather than in a drawer: something for the greenhouse, the potting shed, or the spot by the back door where the wellies live.

Our greenhouse signs are personalised with each grandchild's name in its own little plant pot, so they work as a proper keepsake as well as a nice thing to look at while watering the tomatoes. They're popular for Mother's Day, Father's Day, birthdays and retirement, whenever there's a grandparent with green fingers to celebrate.

If you're buying for a keen gardener who isn't a grandparent yet, keep an eye on this page. We're adding to the range as we find gifts that earn a place in the shed rather than the back of a cupboard.

Our most popular gardening gifts have always been for grandparents, so that's where this range begins: two signs, one for Grandad's greenhouse and one for Granny's, each personalised with the names of the grandchildren who help out (or get under everyone's feet).

We're working on more gifts for gardeners beyond the greenhouse sign, including options that don't assume the recipient is anyone's grandparent. For now, if you're after something for a parent, partner or friend who gardens, a slate coaster or keepsake from our wider range can carry a name or message just as well.
