More for Christmas from Go Gardening!

Looking for one-stop Christmas shopping with stress-free parking? Try your local Go Gardening garden centre. You'll find gifts for all – gardeners or not.  Here's a few ideas to get you started ...

1	Indoor glamour Flowering houseplants offer instant Christmas cheer, plus garden centres stock a fabulous range of decorative pots – to complete the perfect gift for almost anyone.
2	Instant patio pots Pot up your own personalised choice of flowering plants or choose from the range of ready-to-go pots brimming with flowers ready to grace someone's outdoor space.
3	A special pot A beautiful pot is a work of art in its own right, with or without plants.
4	Ready to hang Assemble it yourself or choose from the selection of ready-planted hanging baskets. Ideal basket flowers for summer include colourful petunias, busy lizzies, lobelias, bacopa, nasturtium, fuchsia and ivy geranium.
5	Stocking fillers For a difficult-to-buy-for mum or dad who loves to dabble outdoors, how about a gardeners Santa stocking filled with useful items, eg; small packs of fertiliser, seeds, gardeners' hand cream, gloves, hand tools, hose attachments, secateurs, plant tags, ties and marker pens, notebook, and if they're really lucky, a Go Gardening gift card too.
6	Beginner gardener's 'starter kit' Encourage a budding gardener with a personalised starter kit. It might contain a large planter box or grow bag with a bag of vege planting mix, fertiliser and some seeds – or a gift voucher to buy a few punnets of vege seedlings.
7	Something for Grandma Garden centres are great places for children to shop for low price gifts. Favourites for grandparents are potted colour, herbs and baby houseplants. They can make their own pots.
8	Garden sculpture, bird baths and water features It can be difficult to choose garden art for someone else, but you could always take them for a pre-Christmas visit to the garden centre and cafe then watch what catches their eye. A birdbath makes a lovely gift, one that brings extra life into a garden.
9	Living sculpture A classic trimmed topiary in a pot makes a very special gift suited to any style of garden. Garden centres offer a range of options at various price levels. For some reason, men in particular (even those who aren't gardeners) are drawn to bonsai. These come in a range of sizes and prices.
&	And if you still can't decide ... There is always a Go Gardening gift card to the value of your choice. Available at Go Gardening Member stores on online
