Tuesday 29th April 2008 by Shopping Mistress
Shopping Mistress  , the personal shopping and bespoke wedding gift list service - aka Gift Mistress - is ready to solve your purchasing dilemmas for those tricky friends, relatives and gift giving occasions.
A gift for the green-fingered gardener.
The April showers have (hopefully) passed, the sun is out, and the combination of the two means the garden is a jungle!
Keen gardeners will have their work cut out, but it will all be worth it for those lazy summer days ahead. Here are our favourite gift ideas for those with the greenest of fingers.
 Firstly, the golden rule – they’ve got to look the part. This Flat Weave Panama (pictured left) will keep the sun off her face whilst she’s toiling away without letting the side down in the style stakes. Because you never know who is peering over the garden hedge...
 With the attire sorted, your friend will need the right equipment.
This beautiful Willow Trug (picture right) with chestnut handles, by those specialists in timeless classics Labour And Wait is perfect for taking cuttings or tending to the vegetable patch.
 Most rusty old wheelbarrows can barely be moved when they’re empty, let alone full, but this Lightweight Foldaway Wheelbarrow (pictured left) means even the most ‘delicate of flowers’ can easily push it around the garden all day long.
 If your garden enthusiast is ‘green’ in other aspects of their life too, then this set of 3 Flower Pots (pictured right) by The Lazy Environmentalist should appeal. Recycled from tyres, they’re both stylish and eco-friendly.
 After all the hard work on the garden their hands like the flower beds will be in need of serious TLC.
Crabtree & Evelyn’s 60-Second Fix Manicure Set for Hands (pictured left) will quench dry parched hands in just 60 seconds making it the perfect gift for the green fingered gardener.
