Ahh, spring! It has sprung! Gardeners (and budding gardeners -
no pun intended) have begun the quest for a weedless lawn, or a
bountiful garden. But if you're looking for gifts for someone
with a green thumb (or someone with green thumb envy), consider
the situation first.
Some people think of gardening as a chore. Others see it as
relaxing. Some will see it as exercise, and still others
consider it art. Some people have the magic touch in the garden,
while others couldn't grow mold if they tried! This is important
when considering gardening gifts. You need to know if you should
give something to make gardening easier, more fulfilling, more
challenging, or more fun.
For those people who see it as a chore, gardening just adds more
items onto the never-ending to-do list. In this case, you need
to consider gardening gifts that will make these outdoor chores
easier, faster, and less of a hassle.
Power tools and storage & organization aids usually fall into
this category, along with the ever popular lawn tractor. A leaf
blower/vacuum can make clean-up a breeze (again - no pun
intended). The same can be said for a pressure washer. Heavy
jobs are made easier with a wheelbarrow or yard cart. And
organizing a collection of garden tools is simple with a storage
bench or shed. Other ideas include a convenient watering timer.
If your gift recipient enjoys gardening as a hobby, you'll want
to take a look at gardening gifts that can bring more
fulfillment or enjoyment to the outdoors. They would benefit
from a magazine subscription like "Garden Design", or a
gardening book ("Front Yard Gardens: Growing More Than Grass")
to help cultivate their ideas. Garden enthusiasts like to sit
back and enjoy their hard work, so patio furniture and
accessories would also be a great gift.
And let's not forget the gardener wanna-be: those whom we love
that just can't seem to keep that plant alive - whose thumb
isn't really green at all! Start off with a how-to book like
"Lawn Care For Dummies" or "Taylor's Encyclopedia of Garden
Plants", and complement that with some basic gardening tools or
accessories. These types of gifts would also be great for
first-time home buyers.
For the gardener who already "has it all", you might want to
consider something a little more unique, like an indoor grow
light, solar stepping stones, or a cascading fountain. And if
you're just not sure what to get, there's always a gift
certificate or gift card.
