Why Christmas plant gifts are superior
Instead of buying something generic and predictable this year, give your loved one the gift of nature with a houseplant or two. Houseplants make perfect gifts, as they last for years and brighten up our home and mental health.
We’re all well aware that Christmas is the most wasteful holiday, with approximately £42 million of unwanted presents thrown into landfill each year. So if you want to prevent waste this festive season, choose something green and leafy! (Because what monster could possibly throw a potted plant away?)
One of the best things about gifting plants is the variety; for example, if you’re buying for a beginner, shop our unkillable range, or if you’re buying for someone that loves flowers, shop our flowering range.
