Fast approaching is the day to celebrate the women in our lives who have helped form us into the people we are today. Mother’s Day is a day to celebrate the mother figure in your life, whether that’s your Mum, a female family member who took on the role of Mum, or a loved one who is doing a great job being a mother.
There are so many gardening items that are perfect to give as a Mother’s Day gift, ranging from garden ornaments and statues to practical garden gifts (and everything in between). We’ve compiled a list of the best gifts for garden-loving mothers so you can find the perfect way to say “I love you” and show your appreciation to her this Mother’s Day.
Practical Gift Ideas:
Gardening Gloves
Briers Oriental Womens Floral Orange Gauntlet
Gardening is so rewarding, but it is tough on the hands. Many gardening gloves are really comfortable but lack the durability and protection needed. Or they are really strong and durable but that makes them stiff and sore to wear. What your Mum needs is a Goldilocks pair of gardening gloves that are comfortable as well as durable. Breathable, elasticated, and providing extra protection in all the right places, our range of gardening gloves come in all shapes, sizes and styles to meet the needs of every Mum.
Boots
Muck Boots RHS Muckster Womens RosePrint Ankle Gardening Boots
As well as protecting your Mum's hands while she’s gardening, her feet also need protecting. Whether she prefers shorter boots or tall wellies, these gardening shoes will give her the extra protection she needs in all the places she needs it (including the heel, toe, and instep). While providing tough protection, these shoes are also breathable and come with different levels of insulation for working outdoors in different temperatures. We’re sure your Mum will also love the beautiful designs.
Comfort Secateurs
Has your Mum been working with the same tools for years? It’s time for a change. Don’t let her struggle with uncomfortable grips, difficult angles, and blunt blades. These ergonomically designed comfort secateurs turn pruning the garden from a chore to a joy. Safe, precise, and easy to use, your Mum will never want to use a different tool ever again.
Kneeler
Briers Historic Places Tudor Rose Garden Kneeler
The cold, hard ground isn’t very forgiving on the knees. When getting down to ground level to tend her garden, your Mum's knees should be protected. Made from soft, comfortable material, a stylish pattern, and designed to be easy to clean and transport, this kneeler is an ideal choice for Mother’s Day.
Potting Bench
Forest Garden Wooden Potting Bench
Want to take the need to get down on the ground away completely? Get her a potting bench. Not only will this protect Mum's knees and back, but it’ll also give her a surface area and shelf for storing all her garding bits and bobs. One of the great things about this gift is it can be used anywhere in the garden - on a small patio, next to the flowerbeds, or even in a greenhouse.
Gift Set
Briers William Morris Honeysuckle Garden Gift Set
Do you like the sound of some of these items but feel like they need something extra? Our garden gift sets come with a range of items all nicely bundled together ready for your Mum to enjoy. With a combination of different tools, gloves, bags, kneelers, and so much more, you can’t go wrong.
Ornamental Gift Ideas:
Mirror
La Hacienda Square Stone Effect Metal Garden Wall Mirror
Brighten up your Mum’s day (and her garden) with a decorative garden mirror. Creating the illusion of extra space and light in the garden, this gift is ideal for smaller gardens. Just make sure the mirror is reflecting some beautiful greenery and it’s ready to be enjoyed.
Duck Statue
Creekwood Metal Mallard Duck Garden Statue
This charming, characterful duck is a great gift choice for Mother’s Day. Proudly display him on a garden wall, make him at home next to your Mum's garden pond, or have him cheekily hiding between the lawn and the flowerbeds. Wherever your Mum decides to place him, he’s bound to bring a smile to everyone's face.
Cat Statue
Solstice Sculptures Cat Driftwood Effect Garden Statue
Has your Mum always loved cats? Maybe your Nan is a collector of cat statues? Whoever you want to celebrate this Mother’s Day, indulge her passion for all things feline with this charming cat statue. Maybe she’ll be inspired to take a break from the hard work in her garden and have a cat nap while basking in the warm summer sun.
Cherub Planter
Solstice Sculptures Cherub Planter Outdoor Garden Statue
If magical and heavenly beings are more your Mum’s style, bring a touch of charm into her garden this Mother’s Day with a cherub planter. Doubling as an elegant statue as well as somewhere to plant your favourite flowers, whether you’re buying for your Mum, Grandma, or Great-grandma, this gift will be much loved.
Buddha Statue
Solstice Sculptures Buddha Crouching Grey Charcoal Effect Statue
Being a Mum is a joy, but it can also be challenging and tiring. Is your Mum in need of some calming quality alone time? Create a peaceful area in her garden that she can sneak away to when she needs to recharge her energy with this Buddha statue.
Mother and Child Statue
Solstice Sculptures Mother’s Love White Statue
What better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than with a gift that represents the love between a mother and daughter? Whether you’re celebrating your Mum or an older female family member who took on the motherly role, show them you appreciate everything they do for you with this Mother’s Love statue.
Water Feature
Westbury 20cm Slate Effect Sphere Water Feature
Every mother needs a bit of peace and tranquillity flowing through her garden. Water features come in all shapes and sizes to fit different garden styles and different personalities. From smaller, subtle fountains to larger, grand fountains, whatever your budget (and space in your Mum’s garden), the calming sound of trickling water will sooth her as she tends to her plants.
Weathervane
Callow Espira Labrador Cottage Copper Weathervane
Looking for a slightly more unusual and unique Mother’s Day gardening gift? Consider a weathervane. With such a large range of designs, whatever your Mum’s passion is, there’s a design for her. Simply install the weathervane on top of an outdoor building, garden post, or fence for your Mum to enjoy on a breezy summer day.
Practical and Ornamental Gift Ideas:
Bird Bath
Solstice Sculptures Woodland Antique Stone Effect Bird Bath
For the bird and wildlife loving women in your life, we would recommend a bird bath. This charming gift doubles as an ornamental feature in the garden, as well as being practical for attracting birds for a drink and a bath. All your Mum has to do is fill the bowl, sit back, and enjoy watching the wildlife.
Lamp
All that hard work your Mum puts into keeping her garden beautiful shouldn’t be put to waste when the sun goes down. The right garden lighting can bring a garden to life and would allow your Mum to enjoy her beautiful hard work into the night, either while sitting out on her patio or from inside her house.

Chiminea
La Hacienda Swirl Small Sea Blue & Red Clay Chiminea
Another way your Mum could light up and enjoy her garden in the evening is with a Chiminea. Available in a range of designs, snuggling up around a chiminea will give you the perfect opportunity to reminisce about happy childhood stories. You could even roast a marshmallow or two together.
Swing Chair
Handpicked Folding Textaline Swing
This one is for the Mums who like to relax in style. After a long day working hard in the garden, your Mum deserves somewhere to sit, recover, and enjoy the view in ultimate comfort. Although this is one of the pricier items on this list, it’s still worth considering as a special thank you to the woman who has cared for you.
Garden Arch
Zest 4 Leisure Sunset Trellis Garden Arch
Does your Mum’s garden feel like it’s missing something? A feature like an arch or arbour can add a beautiful decorative charm to her garden. This gift also gives her the choice to leave the arch as just a wooden ornamental piece, or she could use it to support climbing plants. Growing ivy or roses (or another of her favourite climbing plants) over the feature gives her a project to work on in the garden with the end product of a magical arch of greenery and flowers.
Pot Shelf
Florenity Verdi Folding Pot Shelf
Finally, if your Mum or Grandmother has a smaller garden, or maybe just a patio, this doesn’t mean she has to miss out on growing her favourite seasonal flowers. Pot shelves are often tiered to allow more potted plants to be stored and displayed in a smaller area. Give her the gift of space to enjoy her garden this Mother’s Day.
