Chocolate and food gifts for plant lovers

Chocolate to give with a plant

Chocolate is an easy add-on to a plant gift because it suits almost any occasion and needs no care. The Colombian 61% dark chocolate bar from The Chocolate Society is a single-origin dark chocolate with a smooth, rich cocoa flavour. It contains soya and is made in a kitchen that also handles gluten, nuts, peanuts, eggs and sesame.

Pair it with a plant from our thank you gifts or birthday gifts, or add a bar to a Christmas gift order.

Food gifts for people who cook and grow

Oyster mushroom growing kits from Yorkshire Mushroom Emporium join this range when they are in stock. When they are not, a book is a good food gift for a grower. Herbarium covers one hundred herbs, from bergamot to wasabi, with how to grow and cook each one, and The Medicinal Garden includes recipes for cakes, salads, soups and teas alongside advice on growing herbs.

Both books sit in our Books & Games collection with other plant titles.

Putting a food and plant gift together

Start with a plant from our houseplants under £10, add a bar of chocolate and finish with a card from our greeting cards. If you are not sure what they would like, the GrowTropicals e-gift card lets them choose plants, pots or accessories for themselves.
