Great Gifts for Gardeners
We’ve created a Great Brands gift guide!
We want to help you shop locally and sustainably to treat the people you love this Christmas.
East London Parasol
The perfect garden wouldn’t be complete without a parasol, and for every parasol sold we have partnered with One Tree Planted to plant a tree in India or Indonesia. We have a variety in stock for delivery in time for Christmas, but if you order a gift voucher or pre-order a parasol which is out of stock we will send a card and beautiful red tassel to open on the day.
Our parasols are all handmade in the UK, India or Indonesia, we avoid plastics and use sustainable woods in our production, such as durian, bamboo and FSC certified ash wood.

Trugs are a traditional style of garden basket with a 200 year old heritage. The Truggery was founded in 1899 and their shop and workshop are on the edge of Herstmonceaux in East Sussex. They’re made from native local materials, young coppiced sweet chestnut, clefts of willow and a coat of linseed oil. Not only is a trug a timeless tradition, the coppiced woodlands are a valuable environment for local flora and fauna.

Peacock Chair
The peacock chair is exotic design which has ornamented orangeries, conservatories and glasshouses for at least 150 years. It’s a classic design which is as at home in a modern flat with pot plants and copper, to Regency-style decor.
Our peacock chair is handmade in Indonesia and about to set sail for the UK. If you’d like to give one on Christmas Day we can send your loved one a card and tassel so they have something lovely to open.

Beebombs
Wildflower habitats are where bees and butterflies make their lives, and with 97% of native British Wildflower habitat lost since World War 2 - it’s more important than ever that we do what we can to preserve it. Beebombs are a fantastic way to get the whole family involved in restoring the Bees native plants and require no gardening skills. We’ve added the Natice Wildflower Beebomb, which is handmade from sheltering local clay and is packed with over 1000 native seeds (almost all are on the RHS ‘Perfect Pollinators list). We want to join Beebomb and help bring the bees back to Britain.

Eco Green Living
Gardeners are used to using their hands, and let's be honest they can get really dirty.

Eco Living is a fantastic British company that provides plastic-free alternatives for consumers and businesses- and they plant a tree with every purchase- there is no other way to shop.
