Welcome to the 'Article' pages of Hortica the online garden centre for garden tools, garden products and outdoor living...

Garden Gifts

At Hortica we are an online garden centre with a difference. Our expertise lies in putting together a range of garden gifts and tools which not only inspire and amuse, but also fulfil our committment to the stricture of William Morris; that one should 'have nothing about you which you do not either know to be useful or believe to be beautiful'. The garden gifts in our catalogue are the ultimate in form and function. We've written a little more about the foundations and principles on which we've built Hortica on our About Us page as well as the way in which we choose our garden gifts.

You'll see that we've compiled a garden gifts section on the website which showcases some of the smaller items which can easily be packaged as gifts to those loved ones with a passion for the garden, however because we only choose garden tools and accessories using the Morris stricture all items make perfect gifts. After all, a person who likes spending time amongst the flora and fauna will appreciate any accessory which enables them to achieve more, or to help decorate their surroundings.

In a previous article on garden gifts we showcased a couple of examples, both of which were aimed at assisting with the planting process. For the theme of this article, we've chosen some garden accessories which make ideal garden gifts because they are both functional and good looking.

Sussex Trugs
At Hortica we have a range of Sussex Trugs and Trug Gift Sets which make great garden gifts. The classic Sussex Trugs come in 3 sizes - small (3 gallons) for the average garden, medium (4 gallons) for use when harvesting fruit and vegetables, and large (5 gallons) for bigger harvesting jobs. All the Sussex Trugs available through Hortica are handmade in Hailsham, Sussex from Birch wood sourced from Finland. For more details, or to purchase a Sussex Trug garden gift, please head over to the Trug page here.

Garden Gift Trug Set
If you really want to 'go all out' on a Trug as a garden gift, then take a look at the Trug Garden Gift Set. This particular willow trug comes packed with an assortment of gardening gifts, making it a spectacular gift for a loved one or dear friend.

Gents and Ladies Pruning Gloves
Hortica are proud to stock high quality pruning gloves from Bradley's the Tannery. And because their gloves are made with such superb care and attention to detail using traditional methods, from the best quality leather they are bound to impress anyone lucky enough to receive a pair; making them ideal garden gifts. We stock both pruning gloves for the gentleman gardener and pruning gloves for the lady gardener and in several colour combinations.
