Garden Gifts

You don’t have to be blessed with green thumbs to appreciate a gift for the yard and garden, but you might not want to do what a friend of mine arranged for his wife’s Christmas gift. This man thought his spouse, and avid gardener, would appreciate a gift of soil amendments, so he bought her a truckload of manure. That woman loved her garden so much that the present was appreciated, but for most people something other than manure is probably a safer bet.

Here are a two ideas for garden gifts that might appeal more than a truck load of….well, soil amendments. Think about giving a birdbath or a bench.

Birdbaths make great focal points in a garden bed or lawn. If you don’t want to fill them with water for the birds, they can be planted with attractive arrangements of succulents or filled with sticks for the winter.
A bench adds instant appeal to any garden, and it’s something that many people covet but don’t buy for themselves. Benches are important visual elements in a garden, and they allow the gardener a place to perch and appreciate his or her handiwork.

Other gifts that gardeners enjoy include a new pair of pruners, a folding saw, or best of all, a gift certificate for more plants. May your holidays be bright and peaceful,
