Brighten-the-garden gifts
For the gardener who might be missing the outdoors, a gift of solar-powered lights would be a well-received gift to help illuminate an outside space on dark winter evenings. Choose from a set of Maroc Lanterns , Ladybird Lanterns – perfect for shrubs, trellises or doorways – or a striking Mega Spiralight. Squire’s has an extensive range of both solar and battery outdoor lighting which makes a delightful gift for the dark night season too.

“We pride ourselves on offering a product range that is true to Squire’s horticultural heritage, carefully selecting quality items that can be given as practical gifts, as well as thoughtful products that will delight and surprise.”
