Any gardener will tell you that gardening can grow from a regular hobby to a passion or an outlet for emotions or stress. If the gardener in your life has expressed their need for tools, equipment, or decorative elements, why not invest in their hobby? Here are six of the best holiday gifts for aspiring gardeners.
Gardening Tools
What gardener doesn’t have all the essential tools? Every gardener should have the following:
- – Gloves
- – Pruning Shears
- – Hand Trowel
- – Rake
- – Hoe
- – Garden hose
- – Watering can
- – Wheelbarrow
If the gardener in your life needs any of these or all of them, create a gardening starter kit to help kickstart their journey.
Gardening Bib Overalls
Grace the aspiring gardener in your life with the true gardening uniform: overalls. Overalls are comfortable and durable and provide multiple compartments to place tools or seeds. Since overalls are popular in mainstream fashion, you can find them in many different colors, patterns, or jean finishes.
For bonus points, add a large-brim bucket hat to get the full gardening look!
A Nice Pair of Gardening Boots
When gardening, things can get messy, and we doubt anyone would want to ruin a good pair of sneakers or boots—especially if the ground is wet. A great holiday gift for aspiring gardeners is a nice pair of gardening boots. Try to find boots that are breathable, durable, and comfortable. These qualities matter because you don’t want their feet to hurt or smell after doing something they love.
Raised Garden-Bed Kit
If your aspiring gardener is taking their hobbies to new heights, upgrade their space with a raised garden bed kit. Beds are easy to assemble and provide a protective bottom to keep the plants safe. This will also help keep their plants evenly hydrated and properly irrigated.
Backyard Gardening Shed
If you know your friend, family member, or significant other is serious about gardening, why not invest in their craft? A backyard garden shed is the ultimate gift for gardeners because they can house all their tools, equipment, seeds, fertilizer, and plants in one area. However, it’s always best to assess their lifestyle and make a few considerations before purchasing a shed.
Planters or Vases
Planters, vases, and pots add life to one’s garden. You can use planters and pots to show your style and bring forth color and personality. Vases and pots can come in many colors, patterns, textures, finishes, and shapes! From vases shaped like a peace sign to a royal blue ceramic pot, you can find the perfect vase or planter for your aspiring gardener.
