Not everyone has a garden. Plenty of people live in flats, rent rooms or have a back yard that’s mostly bins. But nearly everyone has a windowsill, and that’s all you need for the best indoor gardening gifts. 🪟

Indoor growing is also perfect for winter, when outdoor gardens are asleep and the days are short. A grow kit gives someone a little green project right where they live.

What makes a great indoor gardening gift?

The best indoor gardening gifts are compact, beginner-friendly and happy on a windowsill. They should include what’s needed to start, so the recipient doesn’t have to rush out for extra supplies. And ideally, they should be a bit of fun.

Grow-from-seed kits tick every box. They fit small spaces, come with instructions and give people the joy of watching something sprout from scratch.

Quick picks: indoor gardening gifts

•      For a calm, creative hobby: the Bonsai Starter Kit.

•      For cooks: the Herbs Starter Kit.

•      For tiny spaces and busy lives: a Cactus or Succulent Starter Kit.

•      For wow factor: the Venus Flytrap Starter Kit.

Bonsai: a tree for the tiniest home

Bonsai was made for small spaces. The Bonsai Starter Kit lets someone grow their own bonsai from seed, with everything included to begin. It’s a calming, creative hobby that suits flats beautifully, and as the trees develop, they become living décor.

Some bonsai species are best kept outdoors once they’re established, so the instructions are worth reading carefully. Our bonsai winter care guide explains which trees prefer indoors or out.

Herbs: the kitchen windowsill garden

The Herbs Starter Kit is one of the most practical indoor gardening gifts there is. It grows eight kitchen favourites on a sunny windowsill, ready to snip into pasta, soups and salads. In winter, herbs grow a little slower, so the brightest spot in the kitchen is the place to be.

Cacti and succulents: low-fuss, high-style

For busy people and minimalists, cacti and succulents are perfect. They store water in their stems and leaves, so they forgive the odd missed watering. Growing a small collection from seed with our Cactus or Succulent Starter Kits creates a stylish display for a desk or shelf. Find both in our grow kits collection.

Venus flytraps: indoor gardening with a twist

For anyone who wants their windowsill to be a talking point, the Venus Flytrap Starter Kit is the one. These carnivorous plants have their own rules, including rainwater or distilled water instead of tap water, which makes growing them a fascinating project.

Tips to include with an indoor gardening gift

•      Choose the brightest windowsill available, especially in winter.

•      Keep seedlings away from radiators and cold, draughty glass at night.

•      Water carefully. More plants are lost to overwatering than underwatering.

•      Read the kit instructions first, as some seeds have a best time to sow.
