Time to spoil gardeners

GIFTS: EVEN A PACKET OF SEED WILL BE WELCOMED

- Alice Spenser-Higgs

Tomorrow is officially the start of the festive season and top of mind are the holidays and what presents to buy our loved ones.

Gardeners must be the easiest people on earth to buy presents for. We are grateful for anything that enhances or beautifies the garden. Even a packet of seed would be welcome in a Christmas cracker.

This is the time to help out your loved ones whose brows start to wrinkle at the thought of Christmas shopping. Some of these ideas might appeal to you and can be casually passed on to those who need to hear.

YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE!

Garden lights extend the hours of enjoyment we get from our gardens, especially during the long, warm summer evenings with family and friends.

Solar Flair Fairy Lights are easy to install. Just scatter them over bushes, in the trees or light up a deck, balcony or terrace.

There are 50 fairy lights, white or multi-coloured, per 5m. The lights are warm white or cool white. Being solar powered they charge during the day and automatically illuminate at night, and they are weatherproof.
