The Perfect Mother’s Day Gifts for Gardening Mums – Mother’s Day is the perfect time to show your appreciation for the special woman in your life, and if she has a passion for gardening, why not surprise her with something that enhances her outdoor haven? Whether she enjoys tending to flowers, growing vegetables, or simply soaking up nature, these carefully curated gifts will make her gardening experience even more delightful.
A recent trip to The Gardening Show in London introduced me to some fantastic new products on the market that make ideal gifts for gardening enthusiasts. Here are some standout selections:
Donkey Gloves
Designed by horticulturist and former Blue Peter gardener, Clare Cooke, Donkey Gloves are a game-changer for gardening. These multipurpose work gloves combine the durability of a work glove with the dexterity and comfort of the best gardening gloves, with a multitude of sizes to fit all hands! With elasticated breathable fabric, soft padding, and reinforced protection, they offer the ultimate support. Plus, they come in just one bold colour—International Orange—so they’re easy to find! Even better, profits from Donkey Gloves support Clare’s Farm, a private animal sanctuary on Dartmoor.
STIGA PR 100e Battery-Powered Pruning Saw
Having previously reviewed the brilliant STIGA SC100e Cordless Pruning Shears I was keen to try the Saw. Revolutionising precision pruning, it is a battery-powered saw designed to make trimming effortless. Lightweight and cordless, it provides smooth, precise cuts, allowing gardeners to shape hedges and tackle overgrown areas with ease. Its 20V ePower battery is compatible with all STIGA 1 Series Garden tools, offering ultimate convenience. The optional Pole Extension accessory extends reach up to 1.8 metres, making high branch pruning safer and easier.
