Every gift grows

Every purchase from our shop funds our vital work and helps create a greener, healthier world where woods and trees thrive. Thanks for shopping with us.

1. Saplings

A new tree is a great way to mark a special occasion, from birthdays and anniversaries to retirement. It’s a garden 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.

2. Seedballs

Seedballs are a wonderful present idea 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 or butterflies to edible plants and species for shade. 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 secret santa gift for garden lovers.

3. Twool garden twine

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. A simple gardening present idea but one that gardeners will always appreciate!

4. Gardening gloves

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. They're ideal gardening gifts for men and women, available in sizes small/medium or medium/large with an adjustable wrist strap so they'll fit snugly. Made in the UK, they're even machine washable to help keep the stylish oak-leaf design and luxury leather trim looking smart.

5. Bird bath

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 feed to encourage more feathered friends to visit.

6. Jute sacks

Every gardener will find a multitude of uses for these sacks, from storing gardening paraphernalia or vegetables to collecting garden waste or making leaf mould. Made from natural, durable jute and sold in packs of two, they’re great value for money as well as 100% biodegradable. Tied with a ribbon they could make lovely large rustic gift bags too!

7. Hand tools

A robust, quality garden tool set is essential for all manner of tasks, from planting bulbs and bedding to weeding and sowing. This hand fork, trowel, dibber and grubber are just the ticket. Made from mirror-polished stainless steel and weatherproofed FSC®-certified hardwood, they're so durable they carry an impressive 10-year guarantee.

8. DIY bee hotel

This wooden bee hotel is a great gift for a gardener and wildlife lovers alike. Witnessing bees and other beneficial insects make their homes in the nesting tubes will fascinate gardeners and the pollinators will benefit their flowers and fruit too.

The eco-friendly flat-pack kit fits through letterboxes and includes all you need to create a safe home for solitary bees, with no plastic or glue necessary. It takes just 20 minutes to make but will support biodiversity and add interest to the garden for many seasons to come.

Taking good care of your hands is important for hard-working gardeners and quality skincare products are a must. This premium beeswax hand cream is a perfect gardener gift, helping to repair and protect dry, sore hands that have been weeding, digging, planting and pruning in all weathers. It's eco-friendly, free of palm oil and parabens, and subtly fragranced with ylang ylang essential oils.

Help wildlife thrive by planting homes for squirrels, stag beetles and more with homes for wildlife, keep iconic creatures cosy with winter wildlife or boost hedgerows with the hedge fund.
