Make Mother’s Day from The Worm that Turned - 26th March 2006.
Those with gardening mothers can find a host of original gifts at The Worm that Turned.

Stick the boot in, with knee high Candy Pink Wellies. £49.95. Available in sizes 4-8. Each wellington comes with re-enforced foxing and bridge, adjustable gusset strap, waterproof gusset, and a special insole to enhance comfort. Of course all your mother needs to know is that it is pink!

If she's really into pink, your mother will love these pink suede and leather gauntlets – just right for flaunting it amongst the roses. £32.95
Also look at the Pink Tool Bag with 5 hand tools £24.95.

For more everyday gardening tasks try on a pair of Gold Leaf ‘soft touch’ gardening gloves. Part of a growing range of modern gloves that actually perform and look good. Made from exceptionally high quality leather £18.95. We think these are simply the best gloves available.

Despite that protection she still needs hand help. Burt’s Bees Hand Repair Kit fits the bill £14.95. It contains Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme (to nourish and protect the nails), Beeswax and Banana Hand Creme (enriched with aloe vera to repair and moisturize 'dish pan hands' or hands over-exposed to the elements), Shea Butter Hand Repair Creme and cotton gloves (to use at night for concentrated moisturisation), also comes with a booklet to give you an understanding of basic hand anatomy with tips and accessories to keep your hands looking and feeling their best.

If mother has been dropping hints about a new pruner – look no further than our deluxe Secateurs set. A pair of bypass and anvil pruners complete in a wooden gift case. £19.95.

If your mum likes looking at gardens and holidaying in the UK then the Garden Lovers B & B guide is an excellent gift. £14.95. If you know Alastair Sawday's guides, you will appreciate that the write-ups are vivid and honest - they can be trusted. Whether a place is grand or simple, perfect or flawed, it is included only if there is something special about it. This book offers a seductive range of places to stay, and all with great gardens. Colour photographs and maps, clear directions, and easy-to-use symbols, make the choosing easy and fun.

For those mothers without much space, try the ‘Grow in a Bag’ Alpine Strawberry £8.50 - part of a great range of seed kits that include herbs as well.

If mum likes alfresco, then the sumptuous colours that ooze from the Violet Glitter Pot when a tealight is lit in it will warm many a cool evening. £8.95 Also available in loads of other colours. Irresistible.

Any keen gardening mum who knows that a gardener needs nature’s friends, will appreciate the Ladybird Tower £10.95, or the alternatively try the Butterfly Garden scatter seeds £13.95.

If none of these are up to the mark, put our staff to the test and let them develop a bespoke gardening gift set for your mother based around a container, like a galvanised watering can or antiqued pot. Fill it with spring flowers or seeds and a garden hand tool. We’ve got lots of little gifts and the containers to put them in. Bespoke sets complete with gift-wrapping start at around £15. Please email your instructions.
