Gift Ideas for the Gardener in Your Life this Holiday Season

Gardening Tools kits are a fantastic gift for a new gardener or one who has an issue with misplacing their tools! This kit from Sleek Garden has all the gardening essentials; pruners, trowel, gloves, kneeling pad, rake , cultivator and a bag to keep them all organized in one place. It really takes the joy out of gardening when you have to constantly look around for your tools.

Seed Storage is something every gardener needs. Having one specific place to keep and store all of your seeds is such a huge time saver. What is great about this metal seed box from Little Mindings, is that it comes with seed packets for when you collect your own seeds, also it has a 12 month organization system. I like to store my seeds by the season or month they are planted in my region.

Seed Kits are a great way to help your gardener start or continue on their gardening journey. This Heirloom seed starter kit is wonderful for the gardner that likes to harvest the seeds from their plants and use them season after season. A great thing about Heirloom seeds is that they grow true year after year. This means that for example if you grow an heirloom seed variety of tomatoes and you collect the seed from the tomatoes that came from your seed then the next year you plant that saved seed, you will get the exact same variety. When a seed is not heirloom, then it is a hybrid, which means if you try to harvest the seed from the plant, it will not grow the exact variety you grew the first year. I try to always use heirloom seeds for my vegetables because I like to save the seed for the next growing season.

Seed Starting Trays are the best way to get a jump start on your garden. I love this collection of trays from Gardzen Store. I bought these two years ago to start some flower seeds. Generally I use 72 cell or 120 cell trays, but my space was limited and I found these 40 cell trays with humidity domes and they were perfect. This is a great size for any gardener. If your gardener needs some seed starting tips, check out my free digital guide to seed starting. I generally like to start seeds, depending on the variety and cold hardiness, 12 weeks to 4 weeks before the last frost. This allows you to get more mature plants into your garden for earlier results.

Collections are another great gift idea for gardeners. This indoor herb growing set is an excellent gift for beginners or even seasoned gardeners. It also has jute bag pots that are beautiful and the perfect size for keeping your herbs indoors.

Hydroponic Growing sets are also another great gift for the gardener that wants to bring the garden indoors or to have fresh vegetables during the winter months.

Harvest baskets are a must for every gardener. These well built harvest baskets from Gardener’s Supply Company are perfect for brining in your harvest of home grown vegetable and fruits. This would be a great gift for any gardener, include some seeds and tools for the gardner in your life.

Mugs are always a fun gift. Yes it is true! They really do need all of those plants! Add this to your shopping list to a fun gift for your gardener.

Birdfeeders are a great gift for any gardener, as birds are wonderful pollinators for their plants. Certain variety of birds also help reduce certain pests that can damage plants. I love this bird house from Yadoolife because it is squirrel resistant and has multiple areas for seeds. This means you can attract different species (certain birds like certain seeds) to this one bird house. So this one birdhouse does what 3 separate would do.
