There's precious little time to get out into the garden in the run-up to Christmas, so all the more reason to enjoy a daily gardening fix with a plant-themed advent calendar. Whether your gardening style is growing a sanctuary of cottage-garden blooms or creating a stylish space for outdoor living, there's a Christmas countdown of garden goodies to suit. The joy of opening each door to see what's hiding behind is nearly as wonderful as seeing the first spring bulbs pop up, and who knows what garden adventures these little gifts might inspire!

Which gardening advent calendar is best for you or the gardener in your life?
