Lighting

Garden lighting is a great addition and can allow you to use and enjoy your garden for much longer. However, it can be quite pricey to wire it up but how about these super cool bluetooth solar lights instead. AND, they can be controlled by your smartphone too. Wowsers. £39.95

Seating

There is something about the simplicity of these garden Kube Stools which we just LOVE. A row of them in different colours makes a fabulous focal point in the garden and they are easily moved to make sociable seating around the garden. £65.00

Kube Stools make a great focal point as well as being practical

Art

Garden art can encompass pretty much anything. We love the work of Heather Gray, a wonderful local sculptor based in South Queensferry, Scotland. This seed head is so delicate and echoes the wonderful forms we have in our garden. Prices vary depending on style and size but pop along to Heather’s website (check it out, great name!) for more information…

This allium seedhead sculpture would be a great focal point

Clothing

Forget Hunter wellies, these cool boots from BOGS look great and offer great protection in the garden. They even have a handy handle built in. Yes please Santa!

Having beautiful tools can add even more enjoyment to your pottering outside. These colourful OXO watering cans are stylish and practical. They come in a wide range of colours and have a bendable spout.

Kids

It’s all about the kids at this time of year and there’s no reason they shouldn’t miss out on all the garden fun. One of the things our kids love doing is playing in a den and this Hideout Wigwam would be a very popular present for any kid this Christmas. £65

Christmas Gifts For Gardeners 2014

Do you have a gardener in your life that’s fed up with the same old wellies and garden hose? Perhaps you wish to leave some subtle hints for gardening accessories you would be proud to have on show in your own garden. Then look no further as we unveil the 2014 Vialii Garden Design Christmas Gifts for Gardeners list….

Need some Christmas inspiration? Well, look no further…

Stylish Terrarium

Hanging terrariums are a great space saving idea that allows your recipient to have an indoor garden. Seasonal bauble versions will look stunning on your Christmas tree but will last throughout the seasons. Those by the Urban Botanist are made from natural materials and can be purchased containing airplants or even dried scented fruit and spices, it’s a bit more contemporary than a bowl of pot-pourri! Perfect for Christmas as well as year round quirky decor.  We can’t wait to show you some photos of our Epiphyte version adoring our Christmas tree. £44.95.

The beautiful Epiphyte seasonal terrarium

A stylish alternative to Wellies

Looking for stylish gardening footwear?  Mouillere make practical and attractive plastic overshoes to protect your shoes.  They come in a range of funky colours and are suitable for men or women. Perfect for nipping out to the garden to hang out washing or pick some home grown veg.  From 49 euro.

Stylish and practical

Statement Hose

If your standard green garden hose is detracting from your contemporary garden design, how about one of these beautiful coloured hoses by Garden Glory. They come in a range of colours and we LOVE the matching set of antler shaped wall fixings!
The hoses start at £89.95 and the antlers are £249.95.

Make your hose into a talking piece with this super stylish version

Space Saving Hanging Planter

If you’re short on space on the ground or shelves these hanging planters from Boskke still allow you to grow plants. Plus they are super cool and unusual and will be a definite talking point with your friends.  The recycled plastic indoor planters come in a range of vivid colours. Boskke also do outdoor versions, ceramic  indoor versions and transparent versions for orchids, whose roots would be exposed to sunlight in the wild. From £14.95.

A brilliant way to add plants in a small space

Copper Plant Labels

With all the gold and silver to be found on Christmas ornaments, why not add some copper into the mix with these copper plant labels from Wells and Winter.  Simply write on them with a biro and the pressure leaves on indentation behind. Much prettier than white plastic labels, these beauties will be adorning some of our pots very soon. From 35p.

These will just improve with age when they develop a fine coating of verdi-gris

Rustic Cloche

Perhaps your loved ones feel plastic nets are too unsightly a method to protect young plants from birds and rabbits. These rustic architectural cloches by Sophie Conran may be just the ticket. They’re handmade and will add class to a rustic styled garden as well as keeping your prized veg safe from cheeky visitors. £15.95.

Functional and stylish crop protection

Bespoke Parasol

If you’ve got a more generous budget and the dark nights are making you dream of summer, these bespoke parasols made by Sunbeam Jackie might be the ideal solution. Each parasol is made from one-off collectable pieces of designer silks, satins, linens and cottons dating from the 1920s to current time. Simply beautiful. From £1450

Truly unique sun protection

So if you want to surprise your parents by getting them a voucher to have their garden tidied or their grass cut for the year or give a loved-one a voucher for a garden design please get in touch to discuss your requirements.
