Diddly Squat Farm and Blue Diamond Garden Centres unveil new and exclusive garden gifting collection

 

Blue Diamond Garden Centres and Diddly Squat Farm are continuing their exclusive three-year partnership with the launch of a new and exclusive co-produced garden gifting collection, arriving just in time for Christmas.

 

Launching from 1 October 2026, the new collection will be available across Blue Diamond Garden Centres, Diddly Squat Farm Shops and online, bringing together a range of new and exclusive garden gifts created through the collaboration between Blue Diamond’s horticultural expertise and Diddly Squat Farm’s distinctive character and connection to British farming.

From seeds and bulbs to bird food, growing products and garden gifts, the range has been designed for gardeners, growers, Diddly Squat fans and anyone looking for something a little different this Christmas.

 

The collection brings together practical, innovative and giftable products that can be grown, planted, enjoyed and used in the garden – with plenty of Diddly Squat humour along the way.

Designed not to take itself too seriously, the range offers a different take on Christmas gifting, with something for those who enjoy getting outside, growing things and making the most of the great outdoors.

 

Look out for the wildflower Seedy Balls, available in three varieties, and the Fruit & Nut Bar, inspired by Jeremy’s love of British birds – made just for birds and complete with a bespoke feeder.

The award-winning Diddly Squat Farm Plantable Garden Planner combines gardening hints and tips, a gardener’s logbook and Luna calendar, plus the all-important question: “What’s your herb birthday?”

 

For some Christmas fun, the Diddly Squat Farm 12 Days of Christmas Flower Seed Calendar reveals a surprise each day, with the chance to win prizes by entering and singing the Diddly Squat Farm version of the 12 Days of Christmas song!

 

For those who missed out earlier in the year, the new and exclusive Diddly Squat Farm Rosé Rose, bred by renowned rose breeder Rosen Tantau  and launched at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026, will be back on sale.

 

Whether it’s encouraging someone to grow their own, attracting more birds into the garden or simply finding a suitably Diddly Squat way to give a gardening gift, the range celebrates the simple pleasures of getting outside and getting stuck in.

 

Alan Roper, CEO of Blue Diamond Garden Centres, said: “Following the success of the Diddly Squat Farm Rosé Rose, we are now launching an innovative and exclusive collection of garden gifts, just in time for Christmas.

 

"The products are practical, unique and have a clear connection to gardening and the countryside. We expect they will appeal to both gardeners and Diddly Squat fans looking for something a little different this Christmas and I am sure these products will appear under many of the nation’s Christmas trees this year.”

 

Lisa Hogan, Co-Founder of Diddly Squat Farm Shop, said: “We have really enjoyed working with Blue Diamond to bring this next collection to life. There is something rather satisfying about creating Christmas presents that can actually be grown, planted or used in the garden. We hope the range brings a bit of fun to Christmas shopping and, of course, a bit of Diddly Squat to gardens across the country.”

 

The collaboration brings together two very different British businesses with a shared passion for the countryside, growing and the great outdoors, combining Blue Diamond’s horticultural knowledge and commitment to quality with Diddly Squat Farm’s distinctive personality and authentic connection to British farming.

 

And with Christmas just around the corner, there is plenty of time to find a bit of Diddly Squat for the garden – and perhaps under the Christmas tree too.
