Gifts for Gardeners

If you have a loved one or a friend with a green thumb, you might think about a gift to encourage their love for gardening.

Gifts for Gardeners

Whether that person is a gardening expert or it’s their first time testing out their green thumb this year, giving them a gardening related gift will make their day.

On this list, you will find not only the best gardening tools you might choose as a gift, but we have also curated a list of gifts any gardener would love.

Rain Boots

If there is one essential item for me for gardening it would be rain boots. I LOVE slipping on my rain boots before heading to the garden, especially in cooler weather or after a rain. It just makes things so much nicer that trudging in the mud in tennis shoes – or let’s be honest – I’m a Florida girl – so sometimes barefoot…

Hisea sent me boots to try and share with you. I love them – they slip on so easily, they are perfect for those rainy, muddy days, and they’re cute!!

I love that they’re super easy to clean off, as well. The gloss on the outside makes the dirt and mud just slide right off. I’ve had other rain boots and they are so heavy BEFORE they get covered in mud I feel like I am moving in slow motion. These are lightweight and yet I still feel like they are sturdy and won’t let me slip.

Also, a girl likes to look cute in the garden and these Womens Rain boots have so many cute designs to choose from, you’re sure to find one that suits your gardening fancy!

And right now you can get 15% off when you use code: Dian15 at checkout!

• HISEA women’s wellington boots feature more lightweight and flexible PVC materials upper and round-toe silhouettes.
• The rain boots are made with slip-resistant rubber outsoles to provide excellent stability on uneven terrain and gloomy days.
• Soft and quick-dry textile lining absorbs moisture, keeping you dry, cozy, and warm. Glossy plastic coating is easy to wash and wipe the dust away; a soft fabric collar at the top for extra comfy.

Gardening Basket

When it comes to selecting a gift for your plant-loving friend or loved one, a gardening basket is on the could really be on top of the list.

First of all, it’s practical. A gift basket is perfect for the person who loves plants and fresh produce, if he or she enjoys digging in the dirt or if they simply enjoy the nature.

You can either buy a gardening basket or create your own.

If you choose the DIY route, here are some tips on how to create one:

Mesh Garden Basket

What You’ll Need

• 1×8 board cut to two 7.5×7.5” square pieces
• 1×2 board cut to two 13” pieces
• Steel screen or fencing measuring 15×13.5”
• Bowl with 6 to 7” diameter
• Rope for the handle

Tools You’ll Need

• Pencil
• Measuring tape
• Router with straight bit
• Wood clamp
• Pneumatic nail gun or stapler with 1” nails and 1/2” samples
• Cordless (or wired) drill with 1/2” drill bit

How To Do It

1. Using your tape measure, align the bowl to the two square pieces of wood (measuring 7.5×7.5”) so that it is centered on the board. With the pencil, trace around half of the bowl to mark the curvature of the basket wire.

2. Clamp the board down. With the narrowest straight bit you have, plunge the bit halfway and maneuver the router so that you can trim out along the U line of the board.

3. Cut the mesh to size (if it’s not measuring 15×13.5”). Using the staple gun, pin the steel screen in place to the U line you just cut. Make sure that the staple straddles the steel and the pins into the wood track.

4. The 13” boards are the extra support for the basket. Using the nail gun and the nails, staple it through the end boards.

5. Bore a hole with the 1/2” bit on each end of the basket then thread a rope to serve as its handle.

If creating your own gardening basket might take you a lot of time, you can also choose to buy a ready made one like this:

What To Stuff Those Baskets?

You may choose to leave it as is for use as a tool caddy or harvesting basket, or you can also stuff those gardening baskets with more goodies.

A garden-themed gift basket would need some gardening tools such as:

Johnny Appleseed Organic ClimateGard Fertilizer

Supercharge your soil and help fight climate change while growing delicious and nutritious fruits and vegetables with the Johnny Appleseed Organic ClimateGard Fertilizer.

The Johnny Appleseed Organic ClimateGard Fertilizer is made of ingredients that any gardeners can trust.

While a lot ingredients of commercial fertilizers are made from inedible slaughterhouse and fishery materials like blood meal, feather meal and fish emulsion, which are not only harmful to the environment, but also less likely to be absorbed by plants, the Johnny Appleseed Organic ClimateGard Fertilizer’s no-kill formula is derived from the most ethical and sustainable sources.

Each ClimateGard pellet is infused with a blend of living bacteria and fungi that will continue enriching your soil even after your final application. Plus, it uses a compostable and environmentally-friendly organic cotton bag.

Groundcover Revolution

Tired of spending your weekends mowing, trimming, and edging? Then it’s time to say goodbye to your standard grass lawn and join the Groundcover Revolution! 

Turns out you’re not alone in your desire to ditch the lawn and replace it with something prettier, more diverse, lower maintenance, welcoming to pollinators, and good for Earth’s climate health.

Those answers include:

• How replacing a lawn with groundcovers reduces resource consumption on a significant level
• Why groundcovers require far less long-term maintenance than turf after establishment
• The many additional benefits of groundcovers, including erosion control, a reduction in chemical usage, a boost in biodiversity, and mitigation of climate change as a carbon sink
• The ways groundcovers overcome challenges such as tree roots, compacted soils, poor drainage, and dense shade
