Make it personal
Lists are a starting point. Tell the generator one or two things about this particular person and get ideas no list would include.
Tips for choosing
- Notice what is worn out in their shed: gloves, kneeler, secateurs.
- For plant lovers in flats, think houseplants and self-watering pots.
- Offering a day of help with heavy jobs is a gift in itself.

Quality pruning shears, a kneeler and gloves, seeds or cuttings of something unusual, a garden centre gift card, or a day of help with heavy jobs.

A rare cutting, a self-watering planter, a propagation station, or a plant in a beautiful pot.
What is a good gift for an older gardener?
Tools that are kind to hands and knees: a padded kneeler, lightweight tools with good grips, a bird feeder, or help with the heavy digging.
