A perfect gift for any gardener at Christmas (or at any time of the year come to think about it ) would be a new pair of Niwaki secateurs. With their super sharp and precise cut they are my essential work tool, and I venture into no garden without them. My only reccomendation is to buy a holster at the same time, having to replace lost Niwakis is no joy.
The second christmas gift I would recommend if you employ a gardener, is a fine box of Belgium chocolates (also slightly less expensive)
Thankyou to Diane and Dom, who have a truly beautiful vertical garden in Much Wenlock in Shropshire . You really do need a head for height as you balance on the ledges 8 foot up. My Christmas chocolates made for a lovely mid pruning treat earlier this week.
