Mother’s Day is coming up fast – it falls on 10 March this year. It will here before we know it, so it’s probably time to get organised. If you have a marvellously green-fingered mum to buy for, or if you’re being asked for suggestions on what you might like, the shopping for that special someone is made easier by our selection of gorgeous gardening gifts. Here are our top Mother’s Day gardening gift ideas for 2024.
Love The Glove gardening gloves - Artisan
You can’t go wrong with a smart new pair of gardening gloves – and these are proof that ‘practical’ doesn’t have to be dull! With padded palms for protection, a wrist strap to stop debris falling into the glove, and mesh between the fingers to keep her cool, these gloves are designed for performance, but will certainly add a touch of style to Mum’s gardening kit, too. This Artisan design (see pic below) is one of our original Love The Glove designs. We haven’t the heart to retire it yet though, as it continues to be one of our most popular glove patterns. It’s bit of a classic, if you will.
Sophie Conran for Burgon & Ball heart-shaped trowel
Any mum is sure to fall in love with this heart-shaped trowel! The latest gift boxed hand tool in our stylish Sophie Conran for Burgon & Ball collection is designed to make planting pleasurable. This covetable trowel combines advanced technical performance with eye-catching good looks - see the trowel in the headline image. It’s useful for shallower digging and scooping when planting bulbs, bedding, or plug plants, and is also ideal for container gardening. However Mum likes to garden, she’ll love this heart-shaped beauty!
RHS Gifts for Gardeners ‘Asteraceae’ planting trowel and dibber set
The perfect partner at planting time, this new set of planting trowel and dibber is great for mums who like their gardening kit to be pretty as well as practical. The set features our new Asteraceae pattern, the latest design in our popular RHS Gifts for Gardeners series. Presented in a gorgeous gift box, the design incorporates artworks dating back to 1810, specially selected from the RHS Lindley Collections. The RHS-endorsed tools carry a lifetime guarantee, so you know you’re giving a gift that Mum will enjoy using for years to come.
New for this year, our little Perfect Gardening sets are ideal if you’re on a budget, or if you just want a little something to show you’re thinking of that special person. There’s a choice of three sets, and we especially like the Perfect Potting set, which has two of our most popular potting shed tools. The cell tray trowel and seedling widger are perfectly proportioned for detailed and delicate work with tiny seedlings. With spring around the corner, this is a really handy gift if Mum enjoys growing from seed.
Hanging pots
Perfect for mums who like to have a touch of the outdoors in the home, our hanging pots are the height of style! They’re a lovely way to add more plants in the most eye-catching fashion. Pair a hanging pot with a plant that will cascade over the side, to bring a wonderfully jungly touch to any room - something like string of hearts, golden pothos or inch plant (tradescantia). With a choice of hanging pots designs available, there’s sure to be one – or more! – to suit her style.
So why not make Mum’s day, by treating her to some gorgeous gardening goodies? It’ll get her gardening year off to a great start!
