Many of us love an hour or two in the garden, and giving gardens over to wildlife is a great way to give, plus receive lots of pleasure from watching the wildlife who visit. Many wildlife have been displaced as we all concrete over our gardens, so how about giving gifts to wildlife as well as a loved one who enjoys gardening?

Birdnests & Birdfeeders
The RSPB has a wonderful range of gifts perfect for the garden, whether to encourage wildlife to come and visit it & to care for them while they are there or to give you the chance to mug up on your knowledge of bird life & wildlife & find out more about it. This charity works to keep nature amazing and it does so not just in the UK but also further afield. Your gift can help it continue its good work, but also give a lot of pleasure to the recipient - another win, win win situation.

Give a Tree Gift
I love Tree2mydoor.com. You think of giving someone a tree - a great gift, it benefits people and animals alike. And then the questions start to sink in - what sort of tree would suit the intended recipient? What sort of tree can you fit onto a patio, balcony, in the hall, in a small garden, in a big garden? How would you deliver it? How can you find a tree which fits the right criteria and which is at the right price for your budget? Well, Tree2mydoor.com solves your problem - you can search for a tree by the location where it might go, by price, and even by occasion. They have trees for newly weds, anniversaries and as memorials. They have trees to celebrate new arrivals into the world, for Mums, for Dads, for Easter, Christmas - you name it, they can suggest a tree for it. And another thing - you can give a tree as a conservation gift, too, so even if your recipient lives in a room, you can still give them a tree as part of a conservation project. Branch out and visit Tree2mydoor.com here.
