Bloggers’ picks – the best Christmas gifts for gardeners

I’ve asked a range of leading bloggers to recommend the best gifts for gardeners. I set a price limit of under £50.

And by gardeners, of course, I mean ‘anyone who loves their garden.’

Note: There are affiliate links to Amazon in this post, which means I may get a small fee if you buy. But it doesn’t affect the price you pay. I’ve also given alternative buying options wherever possible.

For gardeners struggling with weeds…

That means most of us! I’m starting with Alison Levey’s suggestion for a practical Christmas gift for gardeners. Alison writes The Blackberry Garden blog, which is currently the UK no 1 gardening blog according to Vuelio. She describes herself as an ‘obsessional amateur’ and writes about her garden, garden visits and garden related subjects.

Alison suggested a Sneeboer ‘wrotter’ – ‘a great name and an extremely handy-looking tool. You can never have too many weeding tools.’

It’s available on Amazon as a Sneeboer weeding fork, but the cheapest place I found to buy it is Peter Nyssen, where it is called a ‘wrotter’ (£21 at the time of writing this).

Gifts for gardeners who travel alot…

Michael Perry (Mr Plant Geek) emailed me from China with his suggestion for plant lovers who travel alot. Michael is a ‘plant hunter’, horticultural new product developer, TV presenter and social media expert. His blog posts over the last year have come from China, New York, Japan and more.

Michael Perry – although I think he has since dyed his hair either silver or purple…

‘Gifts for gardeners? There’s just one obvious choice for me – the Plant Messiah book by Carlos Magdalena!’ says Michael. It’s sub-titled ‘adventures in search of the world’s rarest species. ‘I’m sure you know it. It’s an indulgent storybook about some of the world’s most amazing plants and, in some cases, how they were saved! Whilst I am travelling so much I can’t always be around plants, but this book, I CAN!!!’

Michael also has his own range of gardening clothes and accessories, including the Rude Botany range. These are t-shirts and more with slightly ‘rude’ (or even quite rude) sounding botanical names. They’d make good Christmas presents, too.

Christmas gifts for the veg grower

Firstly, a gift suggestion from Michelle Chapman of Vegplotting. She started blogging about her allotment in 2007, but soon found that the blog grew beyond that. Vegplotting now covers most aspects of gardening and grow-your-own, as well as food, travel, lifestyle and her home town of Chippenham.

‘A Christmas gift?’ she said. ‘That’s a no-brainer because I mentioned my choice in my post about Glee – the gardening industry exhibition held every September. It’s the Haws 5 litre metal slimcan watering can. My colour choice would be Claret to match Santa’s jacket, though there’s plenty of other colours to suit every gardener’s taste.’

Michelle Chapman would love to get this Haws metal watering can for Christmas.

‘It’s great quality, not too heavy when full, British made and the kind of thing I wouldn’t buy (I’d go for much cheaper). But I’d be ridiculously delighted if someone bought this for me. What’s not to like? I already have the wellies to match ;).’

Richard Chivers is also an allotmenteer blogger. His blog, Sharpen Your Spades, is a family, allotment and kitchen garden blog. He says that a new fork or spade would always be welcome under the tree, but he has several other suggestions.

‘A seed packet organiser is invaluable for all my packets of seeds – I was given one similar to this by Burgon & Ball.’

‘Wellies’ photo from Richard Chivers’ blog – with an excellent reminder that we could add gardening gifts for children to our Christmas list!

Richard raised the issue of gifts for children of garden-lovers, which is an excellent point. ‘I bought a very nice child size tool set for my daughter Ava earlier this year. Its been fantastic for making her feel part of the gardening – something that’s her own. Unfortunately it came from Wilko and I don’t think they do it anymore. It was £10.’

I’ve had a look for children’s gardening tools on Wilko, but couldn’t find any. However, they may return next summer. The only children’s gardening tools I’ve personally used with children are Kent & Stowe Kids Range.)

For the gardener who loves to preserve & pickle…

…why not get them into brewing their surplus produce? Brew-your-own used to be 1970s hippy, but it’s now 2018 hipster. Nick Moyle is one of the Two Thirsty Gardeners, who blog about growing your own and turning it into wine, beer, lager and more.

Their book, Brew It Yourself, distills (ha-ha) all their best recipes and would be a great Christmas present in itself. I thought it would be mainly aimed at men, but my jam-making and pickling female friends seized upon it (see this review of Brew It Yourself on my YouTube channel.)

And Nick’s suggestion for the gardener that brews, pickles and preserves is ‘a nice selection of Kilner jars and bottles.’

Kilner clip top bottles make a great present for the homegrown brewer, pickler and preserver.

‘I always find that no matter what you’ve been making, the resulting drinks always seem to taste nicer if they’re presented in a lovely bottle,’ he says. ‘And Kilner jars are the best for infusing. If you get a small selection as a gift then, if you’re lucky, you might get a filled one in return.’

The professional gardener’s present

David Marsden is a professional gardener, and writes The Anxious Gardener, winner of the 2015 Garden Media Guild blog of the year.

‘As a working gardener, friends and family almost always buy me gardening related gifts,’ he says. ‘So, a present which has nothing whatsoever to do with the garden would be a delight. Having said that, I rarely spend much on decent work-clothes, so a strong pair of multi-pocketed work trousers, with knee-pad pockets too, would be very welcome. Or else a bottle of excellent single malt.’

Questioned further on what type of trouser he’d like to be given, he sent this link:

youtube

I’m convinced! I’d quite like a pair myself.

For the owner of a large garden

Anne Wareham, the Thinkingardens blogger and author of The Deckchair Gardener says that she’d like a new strimmer. She and her husband, photographer Charles own Veddw, a major garden in Monmouthshire.

According to Alan Titchmarsh, Veddw is one of the ten best British gardens and the hedges alone at Veddw are worth a visit. So strimmers are an important part of Anne’s gardening armoury.

I told her I’d met a parenting blogger who’d moved into a house with a well planted garden. The blogger knew nothing about gardens and had no time (children, job, blog etc…) So she and her partner strimmed the garden all over in autumn, down to the ground in some places. ‘And it sprang up just as good the next year,’ she said.

Anne says that this is very much their approach at Veddw (though I suspect a very much higher level of expertise lies behind it). Certainly there are lots of useful gardening short-cuts in The Deckchair Gardener – it would make a good present for gardeners who’d like to do less and enjoy their gardens more.

Anne wouldn’t be drawn on which brand of strimmer she’d like, as she hasn’t bought one recently.

For the crafty or thrifty garden lover

Emma Varnam is a top crochet, knitting and design blogger and author of several books on knitting and crochet. Her Christmas present suggestion is an enamel mug with a delightful mug cosy you can make yourself.

The pattern for this charming mug cosy is on Emma Varnum’s blog.

She’s created a mug cosy pattern, which you can find on her blog (it’s free).

‘Enamel mugs are perfect for drinking that warming cuppa in the garden as they are more robust than our favourite china,’ she says. ‘However it is always a great idea to have a mug cosy to protect your fingers from the heat of the enamel and keep your delectable brew warmer for longer.’

‘Make the mug cosy with chunky yarn and purchase a lovely Falcon enamelware mug. You can often find enamel mugs in charity shops.’

Emma’s latest book Granny Squares Home – 20 Crochet Projects with a Vintage Vibe would also be an excellent present for a craft-loving garden or interiors addict.

For the urban cottage gardener

Julie Quinn writes The London Cottage Garden blog about small urban gardens where colour and profusion are important. ‘I’d choose the Collier Campbell Archive book for two reasons.

The Collier Campbell Archive – a book of pattern and colour to inspire the colour-loving gardener.

‘Firstly the designs of Sarah and Susan are a history of our baby boomer lives in patterns and colours. They follow in the tradition of William Morris, and since the 1960s their fabrics have influenced fashion and interior decorative design: 1960s Liberty florals, 1970s Jaeger dresses and 1980s Habitat sofas in a Bedouin stripe. ‘

The Collier Campbell ‘Seaside Garden’ fabric – beautiful!

‘Secondly this book full of vibrant patterns is an inspiration to a cottage style gardener – so many different colour combinations and all pleasing to the eye. Whether your taste is a soft tapestry of pastels or deep earthy tones of North Africa, you will find a page in this book that speaks to you.’

The Collier Campbell Archive can also be bought at the Fashion & Textile Museum shop.

My own suggestions for gifts for gardeners…

I’ve mentioned several already, but I’d like to add one more. I think most garden-lovers would really enjoy Monty Don’s new book, Down to Earth. (And the Amazon price is particularly good at the time of writing). I’d particularly recommend it if you know someone who is just starting out gardening, although I think we can all learn from it.

There’s a video review of Down to Earth here:

youtube

Inspiration for your Christmas decorating

I love Christmas so the next few weeks on the Middlesized Garden will be about your garden and festive decorating. But don’t go away if you’re not a Christmas- lover – normal gardening will soon be back!

I’ve kicked the Christmas season off with a short video on Christmas colour themes. Red, of course, is traditional – but see how festive pink, orange, blue or white can also be:

youtube

One last word on gifts for gardeners…

You will have noticed that no-one has mentioned hand cream. Just saying!

The most ideal Mother Blog posts From The Year.

Media, generally, may be described in simple phrases, like a movie excellented, the book was sad, or even the Net is interesting, and how performed we ever before live without it! I have actually been actually through this women right now for 14 years, and having no little ones from my very own, I really like these pair of ladies like they were my very own, and also their true daddy simply talks to them when he needs one thing. The third time in the critically-acclaimed collection will definitely premiere electronically around the world beginning Tuesday December 20th on PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, iOS as well as Android. Today we possess a lot of huge contests that multitude battling game tournaments - Hypespotting, VSFighting, Competing Cultures and naturally EGX. This element of the book was sad, but this was improving to find Scarlett locate her durability. That's because, unlike the admittances just before it, Resident Wickedness 7 is participated in using a first-person point of view. Treatment a total place from 7.69 thousand square kilometres, mainland Australia is the globe's largest isle - yet littlest continent. Short sprints of do or die time are must attack target dates in activities because certainly not all the parts acquire carried out until the end from the venture. Tough PS4 line-up certainly, yet, FF7 is actually only console launching" there, and Shenmue is dated for 2017; We believe our target from 2017 holiday is available". This game blends every thing you adored about the last Lego Harry Potter game and also baseds on it along with the events of the second one-half of the Harry Potter franchise. I truly would like to perform this ... but I will need to regularly sign in with your blog post to advise me !! I check your blogging site every so often, however I need to begin checking this often! Lake Myvatn, near the city of Akureyri, is actually where Mance Rayder's wildling army makes camping ground in season 3, while the neighboring cavern of Grjotagja is where Jon Snowfall and also Ygritte make love. This's a challenging manual to sum up, however generally 2 old magicians establish their 2 ideal students versus each other in a magical competition. The biggest of which is that Chrome does not assist Unity, a 3D game motor that works along with Firefox, Opera and Safari. The results from caring, caring daddies on their little girls' lifestyles can be evaluated in ladies from any ages. One likes factors even more apparent as well as in your skin, the various other is silent and prefers a much more publication based education. Season the ribs satisfactorily with fresh cracked pepper and also a couple of dashes of sodium. The cause for this corny customer review is actually because a 1000 people have actually already created evaluations for this book and I'll wager that they have currently mentioned every thing that I intend to say. You might have checked out a book from narratives on Google Works, or viewed a tv collection on Netflix. Literacy Games: Video games and also enjoyable activities for ages 4 through 11 that pay attention to structure education capabilities. Developers used synthetic snowfall in time one, but have counted on bushes from Iceland since. Still, with the nightmarishly long wait before Time 7, our experts have actually got to have whatever disputes from details our experts can get. When you adored this article and you want to get details regarding sizemasters.info generously stop by our own internet site. If this book wasn't 5 superstars for me, then the EOBS (edge from publication spunk) would certainly possess hit it as much as 5 celebrities. Prior to the hardware deep-seated plunges commenced, Mike Ybarra, Corporate Vice-President from the Xbox and also Microsoft window Video gaming System come by to summarize what he referred to as the 'four pillars' responsible for Scorpio: recovering the souls and thoughts of programmers, supplying adequate electrical power to palm in a great 'accurate 4K' encounter, offering complete being compatible with existing hardware and software (as well as running old games a lot better) and also - crucially - making certain that Scorpio can easily 'light up' 1080p Televisions. From the Time 7 discounts, that is actually clear the White Walkers gone on their way, and also they're probably delivering a bunch of crummy perspectives along with them. This is actually a specifically appealing title given that that's certainly not just one from the very first open globe activities to become launched on the brand new production of consoles, yet additionally possesses a couple of brand new technicians that our company have actually never ever definitely found in a video game prior to. I have actually likewise incorporated my Venture Meals Article on top from my recipes web page If you are searching for any of the dishes I have created PFB, that is where they are actually concealing! I will love to recommend, yet the book performs my X-mas checklist so unfortunately I do not have it yet. While many experience activities are packed with discussion and also talkative characters, Machinarium's cast of tin-can robotics never ever speak. William Chyr's activity appears like a lithograph, its own home drawing and brutalist paradise spun in to one. That selection, made in the heat energy from a minute, disclosed the company as eventually unprepared to overcome this ideological war on the cultural stage, serving as a multi-million-dollar defense for video game designers intending to exemplify sex in their activities. Currently, sex was actually the natural" progression, as he placed it to Kolbe, an essential subject for video games to cover if they were actually to state the creative liberty afforded literature and also movie house. A successful gamer or a sportsman may play also the activity of life effectively. With the abovementioned much higher textures and resolutions, possibilities are actually a brand new COMPUTER game already appears better in comparison to its own console equivalent right now. He missed out on the initial 43 games final time coping with indicators such as frustrations, nausea as well as a hurting back. The bodily book itself was actually a Christmas time gift to me off a GoodReads pal, as well as to him I offer ordinary thanks on flexed leg. In the nostalgic prelude Wenger bore in mind banning Mars pubs just before his very first video game in charge, in the past in 1996. You see, this is exactly what I adore about Salinger's so usually objected to work - its capacity to rouse thought and feelings and also viewpoints that go beyond the book as well as the plot document as well as create you think, and also possibly -just possibly - be a touch defiant, also. I always took a look at pre purchasing as a strategy to buy a game and you perform a finances.
