New Baby Plant Gifts
Plants make fantastic new baby gifts. Choose something easy care to say 'Congratulations' or 'Well Done' or choose a commemorative plant for the garden that will grow on year by year as the child does.
You might choose seasonal plants like roses or camellias that will flower around the child's birthday each year as a reminder of their birth, or you might simply choose something colourful and easy going in place of the mess, fuss and environmental waste of a bunch of flowers.
Our selections below include both types of new baby gift but of course if you need any further advice we're always happy to help by phone or email.
What is a new baby plant gift and who are they for?
A new baby plant gift is a thoughtful, living way to welcome a new bundle of joy into the world. Whether you're celebrating a friend's first child, a grandchild, or a colleague's new addition, a plant is a welcomed alternative to a baby grow! Beautiful, lasting, and symbolic of new life, these gifts are perfect for proud new parents and growing families.
Why give a plant as a new baby gift?
Unlike cut flowers or short-lived keepsakes that will live in a drawer, a plant gift will grow and thrive – just like the new little one! It’s a meaningful gesture that marks a lifechanging moment, a living memento that will continue to bring joy long after the baby cards have come down. Whether you choose something flowering or a fruiting plant that grows with the child, it's a gift that creates lasting memories.
