*Retired* chap at our allotments has been a tremendous help to us in

Quite a lot of help goes on between people at the allotment and any
*monetary* gratitude is considered a complete 'no no'.
Quite often this situation is easy to deal with since some bottles of
drink is acceptable. However the chap to whom we wish to show our
gratitude is a non-drinker.
Money Vouchers for a local garden centre still seems a bit money
oriented somehow.
He has just erected a new poly-tunnel. Any suggestions for any gift a
keen gardener would appreciate?
Assuming that he's a fellow allotmenteer, why not offer to pay his next
years allotment fee? It gives something you know he wants, at the same
time freeing up his cash to buy something practical he needs for the
garden - seeds, say.
