UNSURE OF THE PERFECT GARDENING GIFT? Then why not check out our list of Top Ten Gardening Gifts:

1) Lawn Tractor: Perfect for the gardener whose lawn is on the large side, or maybe even someone who needs a little less strain in their life. Lawn Tractors (Sit Down Mowers) are easy to maneuver, simple to drive and come fitted with automatic mulching and bagging functions. Sheer perfection for the larger lawn.

2) Garden Magazine Subscription: What could be better than a gift that keeps giving for an entire year? Simply buy an annual subscription of your gardener's favorite gardening magazine and have it delivered to them regularly by post. Every time they receive a copy it's bound to bring a smile to their face.

3) Electric Garden Loppers: How many times is there a branch in the garden that just seems just too big to cut? Well now, thanks to the new breed of electric garden loppers, those days can be consigned to the compost bin of history. Simply put - they're a hybrid of garden shears and a lightweight chainsaw and are guaranteed to make light work of even the sturdiest branch.

4) Garden Design Computer Program: Perfect for those rainy days when it's too cold and wet to garden. A garden design computer program enables your gardener to digitally recreate their garden and then plan what flowers and shrubs they should plant to maximize their garden's untapped potential.

5) Greenhouse: Every serious gardener needs a place to germinate their seeds or grow those exotic blooms and a greenhouse may not be as big or expensive as you first thought. Nowadays there's a whole range that extends from window box size to the more conventional corner of the garden variety.

6) Garden Tools: No matter the size of the garden, a gardener always needs new tools. Ranging from the humble kneeler and trowel to the heavier garden fork and spade. They're just so useful!

7) A Garden Day Out: Why not book a trip for both you and your gardener to a Garden Show or Escorted Garden Tour. What could be better than a gift that will live in your memories for a lifetime?

8) Leaf Shredder: It's compact, it's useful and it's kind to the environment! Once you've used a leaf shredder you'll wonder how you ever lived without one. Designed to shred those endless autumn leaves into an environmentally friendly mulch. You'll be surprised at how many shredded leaves you can fit into a single gardening sack.

9) Garden Center Voucher: Take the disappointment out of buying an unwanted gift and buy a gardening gift voucher. Your gardener will be delighted to buy the gift they want.

10) The Perfect Garden Calendar: This gift takes a bit of time to prepare but your gardener will love it. Simply take some photos of their garden throughout the year and then create a calendar of their garden. Every time they look for the date, they'll see something they love.
