Happy Wednesday everyone and I hope it is a lovely, sunny day wherever you are in the Country - it certainly is here in beautiful Cumbria.  So we are now well into summer time and I hope you are all enjoying your gardens.  I want to share with you today some of our fantastic hand tools..........

 Now you may think these hand tools look a bit strange and they do!  But that is because they have been ergonomically designed for comfort during use.

 They are made from aluminium making them extremely light yet very strong (my husband is a landscape gardener by profession and he swears by them)

They are made by Radius and come with a lifetime guarantee! Each one is priced at £12.99 and these will soon become your hand tool of choice.



Currently in this range we have the hand fork, transplanter, cultivator and scooper to choose from.  To find out more about each one head on over to http://www.ruddickgardengifts.co.uk/radius-garden-tools-m2 for more information and order yours today!

Hello everyone and welcome to another wonderful week!  Today I want to tell you all about our fantastic Sophie Conran Seed Boxes.  Sophie is a renowned designer who loves gardening so she has put together these clever seed boxes which contain four packs of seeds all wrapped up in a beautiful presentation box.

This is the Herb collection so we have basil, wild rocket, thyme and coriander all of which are great for adding to your cooking.  Each pack has planting instructions and the inside cover of the box has handy recipe tips for getting the most out of your herbs.  We also do edible seeds and wildflower seeds but lets just concentrate on the herb seeds for now.

 So coriander is great chopped up with lime juice, it can be crushed and added to meat dishes where it brings an orangey flavour or the seeds are great in curries.

 This variety of basil has a lemon zing to it and is great for pesto or with spaghetti.

 Thyme is a real favourite and is fab when added to soups and stews.

And finally wild rocket is great in salads or with fish.  So all in all you are getting a really good selection of herbs to grow and experiment with.
Each seed box is £9.95 which is a great price when you consider you are getting four packs of seeds plus the gorgeous presentation box, instructions and recipe ideas.  This would make an ideal gift for anyone who loves gardening, loves to cook or just wants to try something new.  In fact this Sophie Conran Seed Box won the Gift of the Year 2016 award! So why not have a closer look now at http://www.ruddickgardengifts.co.uk/flower-seeds-c6/sophie-conran-herb-garden-seeds-p387 and have a go at growing some herbs.

Gooooood Morning everyone hope you have all had a super week and are looking forward to the weekend.  Well now that spring is finally here there is soooooooo much to do in the garden.  For instance if you want a lovely display of flowers in the summer now is the time to be sowing your seeds.  As you know we are now stocking Mr. Fothergill's Seeds (so excited) and we have a fantastic range from these gorgeous canterbury bells to cosmos, penstemons and lobelia.  However, rather than having to buy loads of little plant pots to sow your seeds in we also have a fab idea for making seed pots out of recycled newspaper.

Our wooden paper potters are a brilliant eco friendly gift that makes 4x5cm seed pots. Full instructions are given and it is so easy that it's a great way of getting children interested in planting too.  And once the seeds are big enough to be planted out just plant the whole thing and the paper will bio-degrade!!

This is such a simple yet effective way of planting seeds and fun too.  But of course you still need to keep your fingers clean so we have great gardening gloves to offer you as well.  Our soft n care flora range are perfect for planting seeds as they fit close to your hand like, well like a glove really!  You wont even know you're wearing them, they really are like a second skin.  They are available in small and medium and a variety of colours.  They are washable and last for ages.  So why not take a look at www.ruddickgardengifts.co.uk and treat yourself this spring and happy sowing!
