Ideas
- plants are always a favourite, so a plant gift pack is a good idea, especially if you know a little about the sort of plants your recipient likes then you can look for the unusual, or just lovely looking. Many gardeners are collectors, if you can find that special plant you are well on the way to finding the perfect gift. Roses are always popular.
- gloves are one of the most widely used things in the garden. They may seem a little utilitarian, but a practical idea is appreciated by many gardeners
- garden kneelers are just great, especially for older gardeners
- pots and containers
- garden implements including Secateurs, garden forks and spades are an excellent choice
- OR maybe a voucher, sounds like the easy way out, you do not have to come up,with the idea, however at least the recipient gets what they want.
