Top 10 green gifts for gardeners

Spending time in nature is rewarding in so many ways, especially for gardeners that put extra effort into making their space special. Whether you’re buying presents for a gardening guru or want to encourage a beginner to love the garden as much as you do, our green gift guide has got you covered.

From windowsill pots to established veg plots, our eco-friendly gift ideas will bring them joy for Christmas and all year-round – and every purchase funds our vital work to plant and protect trees and woods across the UK.

A new tree is a great way to mark a special occasion. It’s a gift that keeps on giving: your loved one can look back each year to marvel at how much their tree has grown and all the good it’s done in those 12 months, from fighting climate change to creating homes for wildlife. Choose a colourful variety, one that brings delicious scent or one they can enjoy fruit from. Trees are 100% organic and ours are grown and fully traceable in the UK. It doesn’t get greener than that.

Seedballs are a wonderful gift for anyone short on time or know-how (or both!). Each small clay ball is packed with native wildflower seeds ready to simply scatter in borders or containers and watch them grow. Our tins and tubes are themed to suit different tastes, from attracting bees, birds or butterflies to white flowers or edible plants. Whichever you choose, your gift is sure to bring colour to the garden and support biodiversity. Made in the UK, each contains 20 balls which is enough to cover 1m². At under £10 it’s a perfect Christmas stocking filler or useful secret santa gift.

Managing a garden or allotment requires lots of accessories and twine is a must-have. It’s often a cheap plastic or jute that’s been shipped halfway around the world, but our strong, soft twool has more of a hoofprint than a footprint! Naturally coloured and biodegradable, twool is made from the wool of Dartmoor sheep. It’s a strong, sustainable alternative to synthetic twine and can withstand the bleakest of British weather. Perfect for binding bean poles, securing plants and making emergency repairs, you can even use it for natural gift wrapping, crafts and floristry.

Decent gloves are one of a gardener's top priorities. They need to be tough enough to stop scratches and cuts, flexible for fiddly tasks like pulling out weed seedlings, and weatherproof to help protect hands from the elements. This high-performing pair ticks all the boxes and they look good too! With a padded palm for extra protection and two-way stretch material, these gloves are ultra-soft, comfortable and super hardwearing, staying supple even when wet. Available in small/medium or medium/large, the adjustable wrist strap means they'll fit snugly. They're made in the UK and are even machine washable to help keep the stylish oak-leaf design and luxury leather trim looking smart.

Many gardeners are wildlife lovers too and enjoy sharing their outdoor space, especially with birds. There's nothing like working while a bold blackbird or robin watches just a few feet away! Birds are a vital part of the garden ecosystem and excellent natural pest control too, so a bath or feeder benefits both birds and gardeners alike. This attractive ornamental bird bath is made from cast iron and can be filled with water or seed to encourage more feathered friends to visit.
