Christmas
Gardeners’ Gift Guide
RSPB Garden Wildlife Camera
A lot of people would not think of buying a magazine subscription as a Christmas present, but they really are the gift that keeps on giving. It’s like getting a present every month throughout the year! I’ve done this a couple of times and people are so chuffed with it. For a gardener, you can’t go wrong with Grow Your Own Magazine, which is packed full of useful and interesting info all year round.
For the wildlife lover in your family, this is a truly awesome gadget. The weatherproof, state-of-the-art Sony 700 TV Line camera gives excellent video by day and infrared (black and white) at night at a range of 20 m. It hooks simply into your TV, so you can switch over day or night to spy on the different types of wildlife creeping around your garden.
