Gift Ideas For Gardeners
10 Things to Remember When Buying a Gift For Gardeners
1. Consider the type of gardening they do
What does this gardener in your life do? Do they tend to flowers, trees, do they grow fruits or vegetables? Let their specific work guide you towards the right pick.
2. Get them something that will make their work easier
Gardening can be a difficult job, but thankfully there is plenty of “tech” out there that can make digging and planting easier.
3. Branch out with something new
Pun intended. Why not research a new type of plant or food and get them the materials needed to grow it?
The new item will be a fun challenge, and will be a rewarding gift for months to come as the item grows!
4. Bring the outdoors in
Gardening doesn’t have to just take place outside! Consider getting them an indoor plant that they can tend to and look at all year long.
5. Understand the climate
The biggest mistake you can make is purchasing someone a tree, plant, or food that cannot grow where the gardener lives.
Make sure you know they will be able to plant it and take care of it from wherever they are living!
6. Think beyond plants
It is easy to get locked into buying the gardener in your life more plants, but consider other outdoor items or themed gifts (Japanese? Oriental? Mediterranean?) that will improve the appearance of their garden, including lights, seating, and tables to sit outside and relax and enjoy the hard work they put in.
7. Succulents are trending
Succulents have become incredibly popular for their low maintenance and cool appearance. Why not give the busy gardener in your life some low maintenance plants that make gorgeous centerpieces in the home.
8. Don’t insult them
If they are an experienced gardener, a cute how-to book on gardening might not be the best pick.
Consider a more elegant book that contains more advanced knowledge, or pick a different gift altogether.
9. Analyze their personality
Is the gardener in your life funny or quirky? Maybe a fun watering can or lawn decoration might be just the perfect option.
If the gardener is more modern and simplistic, maybe a sleek wooden box for planting may be better.
10. Think outside the ‘gardening’ box
What other hobbies do they have? Sometimes you need to think completely different and you’ll end up with a unique gift that is different from what everyone else would think to get.
