I love to shop for my gardening friends since there are so many garden gift ideas to choose from. As for me, I love to receive garden gifts that that would be nice to have, but not necessary since I probably don’t want to spend the extra money on them. There are also a ton of silly garden gift ideas that the garden enthusiast in your life would get a giggle out of and probably use too. So, to make it easy for you, I put together some garden gift ideas to help make your shopping a breeze. If you’re an overachiever, you can make a gift basket with a couple of these items! Ok, let’s go!
Every gardener has garden maintenance tasks they need to complete, so make those sometimes daunting tasks a little bit more fun with a new set of tools! Tools like a trowel, weeder, hand rake, and gloves are tools many gardeners go without, but having them makes things a lot easier.
A useful garden gift for the busy gardener – or those of us who sometimes forget to water our plants is a self-watering planter. These planters reduce the need for frequent watering while keeping plants healthy.
Plant markers are a budget friendly garden gift idea. They help keep track of which plant is which and add a cute aesthetic touch to the garden. They aren’t necessary, but they’re helpful – every year that I’ve planted a garden, mystery plants have popped up that I forgot I planted.
If you are looking for garden gifts during the winter months, an indoor gardening kit is perfect since your garden friend is probably itching to get something planted. Plus, herb gardens have tons of health benefits and make food more flavorful.
A garden kneeler is a must-have garden gift for anyone who spends hours in the garden. This lightweight, portable seat provides comfort and reduces strain on the knees and back.
Composting is an eco-friendly way to recycle kitchen waste and enrich garden soil and must have for anybody who focused on sustainable living. Personally, I think every household should have a compost bin – so feel free to use this garden gift idea on your non-garden friends too!
A garden gift idea that is both practical and fun is a butterfly and bee house. The importance of pollinators in the garden is not talked about enough. Attracting pollinators like butterflies and bees is crucial to growing thriving flowers and vegetables since more than 85 percent of flowering plants need pollinators to reproduce. So, this garden gift can help attract essential pollinators and give them a place to live.
Some studies warn to be careful if putting butterfly boxes in the garden since they don’t actually do anything. But – if that’s the case – your garden buddy will still have a cute decoration.
Solar-powered garden lights add a magical ambiance to outdoor spaces like the garden without increasing energy costs. These are a nice garden gift for those who like to eat dinner outdoors or want to enjoy their outdoor space in the evening hours.
You already know that gardening gloves protect hands, but gloves with claw features allow gardeners to dig directly into the soil without needing extra tools. This “handy” garden gift idea will make the planting and plant removal process easier and will reduce the amount of items lying around the shed.
I knew I was old when I started noticing the beautiful birds that would land in my yard. Seriously though – the birds in Alabama are so much brighter and more colorful than those in Arizona.
Anyway, a bird feeder is another practical yet fun garden gift idea, as it will encourage more birds to the garden.
“I have too many seeds,” said no gardener ever!
Gardeners love experimenting with new plant varieties. It’s so exciting to learn about new plants and how to grow them. Buying an organic seed pack will be a welcome addition to any gardeners seed collection.
A garden journal helps keep track of planting schedules, garden designs, and anything else that seems important. A cute garden journal like the one linked above will make keeping track of all the garden-related things feel like a little treat.
After a hard day of gardening, what would be better than relaxing in a comfortable hammock while admiring the garden?
Most of the gardeners I know love to receive garden-themed items like this water bottle. Plus, it can get hot working out in the garden and we need to stay hydrated!
Having separate garden clothes would be nice since they can get dirty. That’s why a silly garden T-shirt would make a great garden gift. There are so many T-shirts with witty phrases and funny images—and some can even be a little raunchy. With so many options available, I guarantee you can find a T-shirt that will make your gardening pal smile.
Protecting our eyes and out skin from the sun is so important! That’s why a big hat makes for a garden gift the garden enthusiast in your life will love.
If you are really at a loss of what garden gift to buy, just go with a coffee mug. They’re easy, they’re cute, and they show that you took the time to recognize their garden obsession while thinking about what gift to get them.
Happy shopping!!
