A gift for people who love a garden
The National Garden Gift Card scheme is the UK's longest-running promotion of gardening and gardening good causes. The Horticultural Trades Association, a not-for-profit, runs it. Cards are accepted at more than 1,000 garden centres, independents and national chains, and they are given about a million times a year. Gardeners have trusted the scheme since 1962.
They spend the balance on plants, flowers, pots, tools, furniture, barbecues, and outdoor décor. The variety, the size, and the centre are theirs to choose. They pick a garden centre near them and spend it on what that garden needs.
Giving one also supports gardening good causes. The association reinvests proceeds from the scheme, including support for Greenfingers, which builds gardens for children in hospices, and National Children's Gardening Week.
Participating centres, seasonal ideas, and the story of the scheme are on nationalgardengiftcard.co.uk.
Why the choice matters
A plant, a pot, or a set of tools is personal. The wrong one sits unused. A National Garden gift card keeps that decision with them: the centre, the season, and what the garden is ready for. Mother's Day, Father's Day, Christmas, a birthday, a thank-you, a housewarming, or the first patio on a new home all suit it.
Care around the card
The card is the choice. Post & Present is the care around it. Add a message, a GIF, or a short video so it arrives as a gift from you, not a bare code. Send it by email or text now, or on the morning it should land. They open your link, read or watch what you sent, then collect the National Garden gift card and decide what the garden gets.
