What time of year will you give your gardening gift?
Gardeners are always planning six months in front. I may shock many people to know that the glorious flower borders and vegetable plots require a lot of forward thinking and planning. This is an important thing to consider when planning a gardening gift.
In order for your gift to have the maximum impact this should be considered. For instance giving a gardener a gift at Christmas should fit into their garden pre planning for the year. A seed multi pack or book on specific plant species gives the gardener a few months planning before spring so they can fully enjoy the build up to using their new gift.
If they have a birthday in summer try to get them a gift they can use straight away like a new hedge trimmer. Alternatively a winter bird feeding table will give the gardener time to plan the present into their garden so the birds get used to it in the mean time.

Children gardeners
Children gardens are either very young children with an interest or you are a parent trying to get them into healthy living. The most important thing with any gardening gift is to make it colourful and fun.
