Gardening Gifts
Gardening has become one of the most popular
hobbies, and you probably know a gardener or two that would love a
gardening gift for their upcoming special occasion. There are
hundreds of gardening gifts to buy for both the beginner and expert
gardener, and the great thing about gardening gifts is they can be
bought just about anywhere: online, nursery, feed store, farmer’s
market, even your local Wal-Mart or grocery store.
If buying a gardening gift for a beginner, an instructional or
informational book is always a good idea. Books like this will give
tips on how to eliminate gardening nightmares like disease, insects,
and weeds. They will tell gardeners which kind of plants thrive in
different climates, as well as how much sun, water, and nutrients
various types of plants require. Books like this can be purchased at
nurseries, online, or at your local bookstore. If your gardening
friend is a “computer nerd”, a gardening information CD might be a
better gardening gift for them than a book.
Whether giving to a novice or expert professional, a plant is always
a great gardening gift. Whether buying the traditional gift, like a
poinsettia at Christmas, or just some random plant random, like
moss, a plant is sure to be greatly appreciated and enjoyed. Another
idea is to buy seeds or just a bulb for someone to transplant.
Giving a perennial would be a gift that keeps on giving.
Theme gardening gifts using plants can also be loads of fun. An herb
can come with an attached card including a recipe using that herb. A
plant that produces nectar and will attract butterflies can be
coupled with a book on butterflies.
Possibly the best and most common, gardening gift is gardening
tools. This can be anything as simple as a hoe or rake to something
more high-tech like an electric blower or vacuum. These are good for
removing debris, leaves, or grass from driveways and side walks.
Other favorites are gloves, hedge trimmers, and sprinklers.
An excellent gardening gift that is rarely though of is a calendar.
Calendar’s can serve dual purposes; it can be decorative with
beautiful gardening themes, or can be used to keep up with the moon
phase that affects most all plants. A farmer’s almanac is also a
good idea, it is full of information regarding the weather, moon
phase, when to plant, when to prune; it is the best guidebook to
gardening there is.
The ultimate gardening gift is for any gardener is a gift
certificate to a nursery or store where gardening tools or plants
are available. This way, your friend can get any tool they do not
have in their collection, or any kind of plant their heart desires.
Gift giving is a difficult task at best, but if you have gardeners
for friends, a gardening gift is an easy way out and makes your gift
buying simple. Gardening gifts can range anywhere from tools to
actual plants and with gardening gifts you have a wide range of
costs to choose from. You can give a cheap pair of gloves or an
expensive power tiller. So the next time you go gift shopping, thing
about a gardening gift for your friends with green thumbs!
