As if by magic, the week of the Chelsea Flower Show, the sun comes out. So to celebrate all things garden we’re giving you our top garden gift ideas to add to your wedding gift list. And just like Chelsea, there is something for everyone, whether you are in a teeny flat (romantically cosy, we like to call it) with just windowsills, or have a humongous garden with plenty of space…
Year round colour: whether it is for herb pots in the kitchen, planters on the windowsill, or in the garde, these cute eco rice-bag planters cover over those nasty plastic plant-pots (or can be planted in directly) to add bright colour. Or use as a desk tidy to brighten up your office area. From £6.99, these bags reduce landfill creatively whilst supporting communities in Cambodia.
Bathroom ceiling your only space? You need a sky planter (we have a couple, but just need to get round to putting them up!) which maximises the space in small homes by using the ceiling as a place for house-plants. Suspend an orchid over the dining table, hang herbs in the kitchen, or perfect for the bathroom as plants love the moisture-rich atmosphere… Definately a talking point! You can get them from all these places…
Pull in the birds… with an uber sleek feeder to hang from a tree/branch/hanging-basket-bracket on the third floor.. Created so only garden birds can access the seed or peanuts, these ceramic ball feeders will ensure the pigeons and squirrels don’t get a look in… From £39.95
Get an edible garden in an instant. Whatever the size of your patch/window box, or whatever your style of edible garden – pop a Rocket Garden onto your wedding gift list. Then when the time is right you’ll receive a box brimming full of baby organic vegetable and herb plants packed in golden straw and delivered direct to your door. All you have to do is pop your baby plants into their new home to begin growing your own vegetables, herbs or fruit. All the hard work of caring for baby plants is done for you!
Sit out with some wine. If your style is much more to enjoy the outdoors with a glass in hand, then you’ll be needing to light the patio with some fair trade hanging tealight holders as you enjoy the summer evenings… or get some for your wedding to light the path from the tee-pee to the bar…
What would be your garden gift must-have’s to add to your wedding list?
