What To Get A Gardener For Christmas Or Any Other Special Occasion

 For people who are not gardeners themselves, it can be hard to know what to get a gardener for a special occasion like an anniversary, Christmas, birthday or such. You might think getting a galvanised watering can as a gift is a bit rubbish but a gardener does not! Rather than being stumped and opting for a gift voucher for the nearest garden centre (though that is not a bad idea for one event) here are some ideas to help inspire you as you shop for your green-fingered loved one.

Tools for the garden

You might think that they have all the tools they need, but a gardener is like a DIYer, you can never have too many tools, especially ones that are made well. You might choose something more practical like gloves to protect their hands, or a kneeling pad so they are not hurting their knees as they work for hours, or you might choose a garden knife or something with multi-uses like secateurs. Just take a little peek at what brand they prefer on your next visit or ask their partner or family if they know. You could also get something that is both practical and attractive like a garden trug Australia gardeners love. A trug can be of different shapes and made from different materials but they are very useful for moving tools around with you as you work, for bringing in cuttings or vegetables from the garden and so on.

Reading options for a gardener

There are a lot of gardening books out there so it could be a great gift for someone who likes to garden. Perhaps they have a favourite celebrity gardener and you could get one of their books. Or if they have spoken about wanting a vegetable patch but have not done it yet, you could get a book that is a how-to guide. You could also do some research and find out what are the most popular gardening books out right now and choose from one of them. Another good one for reading is a subscription. There are a few different gardening-specific magazines and clubs that you might choose from.

Bulbs and seeds or actual plants

You might choose to gift them an actual plant, one you know they are fond of, or you could give them the gift of seeds and bulbs. Includes a little gardening hamper, seeds, a galvanised watering can, a magazine. For something more special you could research some more rare varieties of seeds and get those for them.

Something different

Other options are to find a place to visit, or an event, that you know they would love and buy tickets for them. Either you could take them yourself and make it a special day or you could let them go with someone else who is a keen gardener. A local spring or summer garden show, a visit to special gardens or attractions that include a garden. If you are really close even a trip to somewhere exoctic where they can check out gardens abroad! You could gift them their tickets in a special garden trug Australia.
