A fail-safe gift option for any gardener is a collection of seeds. It means you can give them something they’ll continue to enjoy in the months to come, whether it be flower seeds, veg seeds, or fruit seeds.

Our RHS flower collection is full to the brim with great flower options. You could opt for an easy-to-grow flower collection, or look for something uniquely magical like this Jilly Sweet Pea!

If your gardening gift is for someone who has limited space, giving them this RHS seed mix of herbs for containers may be just the ticket.

Deadheading snips are a helpful addition to any gardener's tool kit. These are a lightweight, pocket-sized option, suitable for a range of tasks around the garden. If one thing is for certain, a gardener will never contest with brand-new garden equipment!

Every gardener worth their salt needs a dibber. And this bamboo dibber is an especially beautiful one, ideal for planting bulbs and seeds.

These vine scissors are designed perfectly for intricate pruning or harvesting fruit. They’ll also last a lifetime, so are a thoughtful gift for a long-time friend.

For those wanting to keep their garden neat and tidy, a bamboo spade hoe, also known as a spud hoe, might be the perfect fit as it's one of the great traditional tools for maintaining an already established border. We’ve got plenty of fantastic Darlac tools within this price range that are both high-quality and would make for the perfect gifts for gardeners!

And to remember what’s what in amongst vegetable beds, take a look at these stunning copper plant labels - perfect for the gardener who’s a sucker for an aesthetically pleasing product.

When the budget is bigger, think about boosting your friend’s love of gardening with the addition of a cold frame to their outside space. This wooden cold frame is a beautiful option or consider a larger metal cold frame ready to house all sorts of plants.

Rooting sponge propagation kits can fast-track the process of propagation and a garden potting bench is a lovely addition to a gardening space, allowing for easy preparation and maintenance.

Lastly in this collection of gifts is a mini garden greenhouse. This gift not only looks great but offers green-fingered friends the chance to grow and enjoy a wider variety of plants.
