Looking for the perfect gift for the gardener in your life (or your perfect garden gift list)? We've worked hard to source some of the most unique, exciting and lovely gifts for people who love plants and gardening.

There are gardening gift ideas to suit every level of garden knowledge, from those who are just starting their journey, to those who are experts.

Our list is also a round up of gifts for garden lovers - they don't have to be into digging and mulching, they can just love the outdoors, appreciate an excellent planting plan and be enthused by the wonders of botany.

    Best gardening gifts for flower lovers

    Fresh Flower Subscription

    Bloom & Wild flower delivery and woman holding flowers

    A flower subscription makes a wonderful gift for anyone who loves to have a steady supply of fresh blooms in their home. Bloom & Wild is one of the UK’s most popular providers (read our review to see what we thought), delivering bouquets in fully recyclable, letterbox-friendly packaging from £19.58 per month.

Choose the natural rusty finish, matt black or stylish sage green in either small or large. Save 10% when you buy three.

    Gardening gifts for indoor gardeners

    Kew Matt Brass Plant Mister, £25.99, Crocus - the perfect gift for a gardener
    Kew Matt Brass Plant Mister, £25.99, Crocus

    If you're the kind of indoor gardener that likes their space absolutely covered in exotic greenery, this mister is a must for you. A hand-finished spray bottle which will boost humidity in the surrounding air of the plant and keep your tropical flora nice and lush.

    We love how smart and sleek it looks and that 10 per cent of every sale goes to help support the sustainability work of Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

    Houseplant Dust Remover Gloves

    SQUIRREL_TEXT_13474236

    Houseplant Dust Remover Gloves, £3.99, Crocus - a perfect gift for a gardener

    You may not think you need these dust remover gloves, but we'd urge you to think again. There's always a thin film of dust left on the leaves of your beloved house plants, and it's surprisingly hard to get rid of it using a normal duster. While staying clean and tidy is nice, dusting your plants is also helping them by making sure they are absorbing all the sunlight they need. After using these, your plants will come out happy and shining and you will have spent no time at all on the dusting. Win-win.

    Cosy Insect Hotel, Tuscan red

    SQUIRREL_TEXT_13474240

    Cosy Insect Hotel, Tuscan red, £14.99, Elho - the perfect gift for a gardener
    Cosy Insect Hotel, Tuscan red,
    £14.99, Elho

    The design on this insect hotel is one of the things that draws us to it. It's smart and chic, but it's also great because it is easy to dismantle. Most insect hotels don't have that going for them and as a result can become a bit grungy over time. This hotel is made from 100 per cent recycled plastic and the hotel itself is produced using wind energy.

    Here are a few more insect hotels we love.

    SQUIRREL_TEXT_13117288

    This waxed canvas foraging pouch comes with a beautiful personalised leather belt bag. You can attach it to your belt and then wherever you are, if you spot something tasty to forage, you'll have something to take it home in. This would be a great option for an allotmenteer, a forager, or someone who loves a good hike.

    Handmade in Portugal, these leather mules will be a great addition to your gardening (or otherwise) footwear, especially with the fact that they are easy-to-slip-on. They have an antimicrobial contoured footbed - which means that wearing them without socks is not going to be a problem - and a natural rubber sole. With such a comfortable vibe, we know if you get them, you won't want to take them off.

    Engei Garden Jacket, green twill, £259, Niwaki - © Niwaki

    It's pockets galore with this limited run jacket, inspired by Niwaki's Kojima Work Jacket. You could keep anything in the pockets from fruit and veg to twine and notebooks (a gardener's dream). We love the loose look and the kimono-style collar and the fact that it's a 100 per cent cotton, which will mean it takes on its own character over (hopefully many) years of use.

    SQUIRREL_13474247

    Canvas Garden Apron, Khaki

    SQUIRREL_TEXT_13117372

    Honeycomb Soil Sieve, brass, £39.99, Crocus

    A riddle or sieve is a must-have item in the greenhouse or tool shed - helpful for sifting stones or chunks from soil ahead of potting, you can also use it as way of sieving fine soil over your beds, pots and containers. We love the galvanised steel rim and etched brass plate with a honeycombe mesh, which gives it more vintage look than most we've seen out there.

    Hands up whose hoses last about five minutes? To win on the hose front you need an investment piece, and that's exactly what this is. Crafted from stainless steel, this hose reel has solid hardwood handles and is designed for longevity. The garden hose is sold separately, but with those brass fittings, UV resistant quality and the chic green colour, once you buy this you'll likely not be buying another hose again.

    Fallen Fruits Copper Plated Trowel, Row Marker and Dibber

    Fallen Fruits copper plated gardening tools on a white background

    Garden tools that are brilliantly stylish as well as being very high quality. We love the measuring guides on the trowel and dibber, as well as the option to get it engraved with your loved one's name to make it an extra special present.

    This leather holster will fit any of your secateurs snugly and safely. Made in Osaka by hand, we love the brass rivets which give this holster a hardy, reliable feel to it. The distinct shape is inspired by gourds, turnips and more and there's a little aperture at the bottom which means you can easily get rid of any dirt that builds up.
