Gifts for gardeners

Gardeners are happy people to shop for because they use their gifts outdoors and see results. Tools that are comfortable, sturdy and sharp are always welcome, since cheap ones bend or rust within a season.

Think about the size of their garden. Someone with a few pots on a balcony needs different things than a person with a vegetable plot. Gloves, a sharp pair of pruners and a kneeling pad suit nearly everyone.

Plants and seeds are lovely but risky, since they depend on climate and what the person already grows. A gift card to a local nursery or a packet of herb seeds is a safer way to say you thought of their garden, and they can choose what suits their soil.

  1. Sharp bypass pruners

    Clean cuts are better for plants, and a good pair lasts for many seasons of trimming roses and herbs.
