Winter? What winter? Remember when we were all longing for the arrival of spring? How lovely that it is now in full swing, with flowers blooming more and more each week, the days getting longer and the weather slowly warming up too. And with this comes the simple joy of pottering around the garden that so many of us love to do. In fact, National Gardening week starts soon which can act as even more of a prompt to get outdoors and get green-fingered. It starts on Monday 27th April and runs throughout the week until Sunday 3rd May, and the theme this year is centered around getting curious about your garden (read all about it on their website here).

If you're into your gardening or know someone who is, then read on for some of our favourite garden-themed gifts.

Emma Bridgewater florals

This beloved Emma Bridgewater range is the perfect celebration of Great British flowers and is a favourite of ours. We always try to keep plenty of the floral mugs in stock as they're just so pretty to look at. If someone you know has a favourite flower then it's a gorgeous gift, but it's also a lovely idea to collect every one as the end result is your own mini garden in your mug cupboard!

Give your garden a spring refresh

Cultivate your passion for gardening with these beautiful gardening books. Flick through the pages and discover new plants, design tips and seasonal guides to inspire your transformation of your outdoor space. This time of year is a time that many of us feel like giving our gardens a bit of refresh, and this is the perfect way of finding inspiration and getting started.

Take time to smell the flowers

Another way to bring the outdoors inside is through smell of course. Whilst we will always be loyal to St Evals delightfully nature-inspired candle scents (that are generally very accurate too), Toasted Crumpet candles are gorgeous as well. If it is a gift that you're looking for, you could get a soap and handcream to make up a lovely little set for garden lovers.

Is all this garden goodness making you want to get out there? Go on, go and get stuck in! We'll still be here for when you feel like treating yourself or need a gift for that fellow garden lover. Tap here to see our full garden inspired collection.
