Hello, Garden Banter forum thanks for the add!

I am here today because it's my mums birthday coming in about 6 weeks
and I'm in need of a little advice on what to get her. She pretty much
lives in the garden, every time I go to visit if it's not raining she's
out there. She plants so there are flowers all year round and never has
a dull garden.

Anyway, in terms of buying her a gift, So far I have ordered her a cake
which there will be an example picture at the bottom, I have planned for
the family to get together at her favourite restaurant, not I'm in need
of a little inspiration from you guys the pro gardeners themselves for a
gift. What would you like as a gift from your son? is there something
you use in the garden often that needs replacing?

Looking forward to some replies if there is anything I have missed
please comment below and I will get back to you all.



I presume you are in the UK considering how you posted. Photos can be
linked to your post either by using a site like Flickr or gardenbanter
have their own system which you can look up on their site. These are
Newsgroups perhaps you should look it up on wiki. Anyways to answer
your question, has she got some good secateurs, that means Felco ones.?
An excellent hoe if she grows veg is the push pull weeded by Wolf
Garden, part of their multitool range, all of which are excellent
quality ime.
