Print a Personalised Plant Label or Gift Card
Need something you can hand over in person? Create a personalised National Garden Gift Card with a special photo to print at home and pair it with a promise to visit a garden centre together next weekend.

Plan a Garden-Inspired Day Out
If he’s the type who’d rather do something than get something, how about planning a garden-themed afternoon? Ideas include:
- A walk around your local botanical garden or National Trust site
- A visit to his favourite garden centre followed by coffee
- An at-home garden project together – raised beds, herb pots, bird boxes or seed sowing
Even if the gift is last-minute, the thought (and time together) still means a lot.
