Gifts for Gardeners Guide
For the Allotmenteers
Emma Britton Gardeners Tray Large – fabulous as a modern vegetable trug or tea tray too, thanks to its generous size. With a bold hand-painted kohl rabi design that looks as fabulous displayed in the kitchen after harvest season is over.
Floral Tea Towel – an essential for washing and drying home picked produce. Emma’s foxglove design is cheery and bold, and features these pretty pollinators often found growing wild on allotment sites.
Emma also loves: Merry People boots, for both style and function! Nutscene Twine is also an essential, and are one of our great friends from RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
For New Gardeners
Meadow Decorative Champagne Flutes – to celebrate their first growing successes with. Meadow Flutes are a really popular glassware gift; a beautiful summery design, yet durable for alfresco celebrations too.
Exotic Floral Glassware – featuring an eclectic floral glassware pattern that’ll inspire their planting. Spot dahlias, red hot pokers, digitalis firebird, salvia and canna lilies in the design, a mix of tropical plants that would be beautiful for urban gardens. These flower glass tumblers and hiballs are perfect for refreshing long drinks after a day in the garden.
Emma also loves: Beth Chatto Plants & Kent Seeds. Two reputable botanical brands for quality plants and seeds, both with an eco-conscious ethos.
For Flower Lovers
Emma Britton Glass Vases – it goes without saying, a beautiful vessel for floral arrangements is a top gift for gardeners who love flowers. Choose a petite bud vase for individual stems or a versatile carafe for bunches.
Emma also loves: Betsy & Els hand-painted wooden flowers to pair with a Floral Twist Bud Vase (another of our RHS Flower Show friends). Or, a Freddie’s Flowers subscription, so their vase is never empty!
For Green-Fingered Grandparents
Gardener’s Cork Tray – we often hear lovely stories of how these pretty little trays are much loved by older people. All because they’re so light to carry, and feature non-slip cork that’s perfect for carrying a drink. Best enjoyed in the garden!
Floral China Tea Cup – This sunshine-infused yellow tea cup is the perfect pairing for the tray above, for a lovely gift for gardening grandparents. Designed by Emma and handmade in Stoke-on-Trent by heritage manufacturers Duchess China 1888. You’ll recognise their name from lots of renowned English china collections, although this retro inspired floral design is a special new collaboration with Emma.
Emma also loves: A day trip out to spend quality time together. A local stately home or a National Gardening Scheme open day are both lovely choices for somewhere different.
