A gardener's Christmas wishlist

Gardeners tend to have firm ideas about what should be in their Christmas stockings. Don't worry: we know exactly what they'll love. Here's a selection of gifts from our garden centre to delight the gardener in your life:

Terracotta rhubarb forcers: every gardener covets one of these elegant Victorian clay pots, even if they don't grow rhubarb, as they look so gorgeous.

Wooden plant labels: perfect stocking fillers, plants will never be named so handsomely. Natural-looking, they blend unobtrusively into the background.

Seeds: Choose a selection from mouthwatering heritage vegetables to pretty annuals in our garden centre, and add a handsome vintage seedbox to keep them in.

Garden planners: Gardeners are always coming up with new ideas and making notes. Handy folders and journals keep it all in one place.

Something for a rainy day: When winter weather forces a gardener to down tools, a good gardening book makes up for the disappointment. All this year's new gardening books are here in our garden centre.

Toasty feet: Welly socks stay up, and keep your toes warm and dry even when you're trudging through wind and rain to the compost heap.

Please ask a member of the Lakeside team for more information and advice about perfect Christmas presents for gardeners.
