1. A great last-minute Christmas gift for gardeners is a seedbox

You will find some available that are already boxed up in a decorative seedbox which is a great quick pick up Christmas present and easy to wrap. For any gardener, receiving new seeds as a gift is always a pleasure, and Christmas is a great time of year to gift them, ready for sowing in spring. If you can’t find a pre-packed seedbox, you can pick up seed packets perfect for the recipient and then a nice tin or box to pop them in.

2. Plants subscriptions are an option for a last-minute Christmas gift for gardeners

If it’s very last minute and you have no time to get out to the shops, a plant subscription is a perfect idea! Many places give many options:

individual houseplants delivered once a month for a period of your choosing,
plant care, including repotting your houseplants and caring for your green friends,
a gift box that might also include chocolate or other goodies.

Look out for fantastic subscriptions to give as a gift this Christmas. Many gardeners like a present that has to do anything with plants.
