The ideal gift for your favourite wine lover this Christmas. We can’t all own sunny acres in France, but we can have our very own vineyards!

The Backyard Vineyard Crate is a small but perfectly formed ready-to-plant collection of two red and two white grapevines which will flourish happily against a sunny wall, fence or trellis. The vines will arrive packed inside a handsome wooden gifting crate and cocooned in wood wool. In the summer, they will provide a generous harvest of delicious grapes that can be picked and eaten on the spot or turned into your own personal vintage.

The Backyard Vineyard Crate is part of a new collection of gifts from The Greedy Gardener, exclusively available from Holly and Co. Each gift is hand wrapped and packaged by The Greedy Gardener’s small team in South London.

During the winter months these plants are dormant, as long as you keep the crate lovely and cool, well away from central heating then the gift can remain unopened for up to three weeks. Any other time of year we advise that our plant can only remain in their crates for up to 3 days. A shed or garage is the ideal place to keep it.
