    Did anyone else get really into gardening during lockdown? The sun was shining, we couldn't go out and see anyone, so a lot of us turned to our garden to keep us occupied, and it turns out, it's a lot of fun.

    There is something so special about seeing those seeds you planted grow into fresh fruit and veg for you to enjoy, or watching flowers bloom right in front of your eyes. Even weeding gave us a massive sense of satisfaction.

    Although summer is well and truly over, that doesn't mean that the gardening has to stop.

    With that in mind, we thought it was only right that we put together a guide to the best gardening gifts so that you can treat your loved ones to something special this Christmas. 

    We've included a selection of products, no matter whether you are an expert gardener or are just getting started. There's everything from wellies, trowels, watering cans and more.

    You don't need lots of outdoor space either, as there are plenty of gift ideas for those of us who are just starting out from our balconies.

    We caught up with expert gardener, Sarah Raven, who also gave us a great selection of gift recommendations for any budding gardeners out there.

    Without further ado, keep on scrolling to shop the best gardening gifts from the likes of John Lewis, Garden Trading, Hunter and more.

    For lots of Christmas gifting inspiration, don't forget to check out our guides to the best Christmas candles, the best beauty gift sets and even the best cooking gifts.
