GREEN-FINGERED GIFTS

APRON

Keep your trusty tools to hand with a gardening apron. The apron is lined for extra strength and the two pockets are perfect for carrying your gloves, packets of seeds, plant markers, secateurs and maybe even some tasty snacks to keep your energy up!

CADDY

Save yourself the hassle of rummaging around in the greenhouse for your tools and keep all your gardening essentials stashed in one place with this handy carry caddy! Whether you’re potting in the shed or tending to your borders, this will keep your tools and accessories organised.

KNEELER

Take care of your knees while you’re taking care of your garden with a comfy padded kneeler. If you’ve got a long to-do list, or just fancy dedicating a day to your outdoor space, don’t let it be cut short by aches and pains. The handles are great for storing, too!

HEADBAND

Keep your hair out of your face and in full view of the sunshine with a stylish and practical headband. This is a lovely quick and easy make so you can sew yourself up a selection to choose from, and they make great pressies for your fellow green-fingered friends.

BUNTING

Brighten up your outdoor space with some vibrant scalloped bunting. Whether you’re hosting friends and family, or just looking for some cheerful decoration to add colour and personality to your home, get playful with your favourite prints and make eco-friendly bunting.

FABRIC PLANT POTS

Display your most-loved plants and herbs in colourful fabric planters with cute patterns. Opt for laminates if you want to use these outdoors, or for the plant lover who’s short on garden space, bring the outdoors in and add some greenery to your home.
