Cheeky Gardeners Christmas

 "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas"... so they say! I don't know about you, but being a bit skint this year I have decided to spread out the festive shopping a tad, so that I'm not forking out for everything all in one go. Here I have put together some ideas of what you can get your gardening wife/husband/buddies

£7.65
"Once opened & unfolded into its garden plot, simply sow enclosed seeds & add water. In a few days your card will start to grow & will keep for 2-3 weeks."


£11
"A gift for a guerilla gardener, these clay grenades filled with seeds & compost can be thrown on to waste land to create a wildflower paradise!"


Visionary Soap
£10.75
"Perfect for soothing dry or chapped skin, this Rosemary & Lavender Fairtrade gift set is ideal for the gardener in your life."



£34.99
"Send a Fig Tree gift & let them make their very own Fig Rolls! Brown Turkey Fig Tree produces gorgeous fruits, great for deserts, if you don't eat them on the way from the tree to the kitchen!"

£44.99
"All year round gift for novice gardeners. Allotinabox is a quarterly supply of seed boxes containing everything you need to grow your own food!"


So there you go, I just did your Christmas shopping for you.
And if any of my family, friends or the boyfriend are reading - Any (or all) of the above would be very gratefully received if you put them under the tree this year. Thanks!
