A few thoughtful gifts for those who prefer to do their gardening outdoors

Whether they have a pot-filled balcony, an already enviable garden or are planning their plant paradise we've shortlisted our picks from some of our favourite independent botanical brands to help you shop small for the gardeners in your life this Christmas.

Give instant jungle impact with a hardy variegated plant! Shade tolerant and with pretty variegation this Fatsia Japonica will create a lovely tropical feel within a garden. It will be happy in a pot for the balcony gardeners. With small cream flowers in spring and black fruit in autumn it is great for attracting wildlife too!

A really practical and inspirational guide to growing and drying flowers, seed heads and foliage. For anyone that is keen to bring the outdoors in and create displays that can last for years, regardless of the size of outdoor space they have to play with.
