Finding just the right gift for someone can be a challenge. If you know the recipient is a gardener, it makes it a little easier when it comes to shopping. I work at a local nursery, and these are a few ideas I think can make a great gift for the gardener in your life.

Garden gloves
I give garden gloves all the time as gifts, and they are always well-received, even if the person already has garden gloves. It is easy to wear through gloves doing outdoor work, and it is nice to have a fresh pair! You can also find speciality gloves such as rose gardening gloves.
Garden clippers / shears
I have a couple pairs of garden clippers, and it is nice to have some new ones every so often, as they tend to stick or become dull.
Garden clogs / rain boots
Footwear is always good to have for gardening, so you have something that can get wet or muddy. Clogs are convenient for slipping on if you need to water or pick some things from the garden.
Kneeling pad / garden seat
Kneeling pads are a great way to help save your knees and your clothes! You can also find some nice garden seats, some that roll.
Veggie basket or gardener’s recipe book
There are some neat veggie baskets for picking veggies from the garden. Or perhaps a recipe book on how to use all those great fresh vegetables! (Only recently did I try a recipe for my green tomatoes! Check out my attempt at fried green tomatoes).
Compost Bin
A compost bin is a great way to be more eco-friendly and create your own amazing soil right from your own food scraps.
Pots and accessories
Pots are always useful, and you can find ones that are good for either indoor houseplants or larger sizes for outdoor projects. There are plenty of accessories too – from fairy garden items to plant picks.
Seeds / bulbs / plants
Seeds and bulbs, or even plants can make for a special gift. There are some neat flowers out there and bulbs can be expensive. I remember all the times I eyed giant allium bulbs but didn’t want to splurge! There were times I knew someone wanted a particular plant or something like a special color rose, and those were perfect for gift-giving.
Gift card to a local nursery
Gift cards are useful gifts especially if you aren’t sure what the person might need or like when it comes to gardening.
I would love a gift of a compost bin. We are trying to do it our own way out here.
Kneeling Pad! This is such a forgotten and so necessary item. I find myself getting elbow deep in the mud and slowly transitioning from one stance to another due to knee pain. Such a great gift! Even for painting trim in the house and other tasks.
I LOVE these ideas! I may even use some of them for teacher appreciation week too since my kids’ teacher is really into gardening!
These are all terrific ideas for gifts for gardeners! I am not a terrific gardener, but I know I could use any item listed, especially Garden clippers / shears
I always love the cute decor for gardens they are great gift ideas.
These are all terrific ideas. My sister loves to work in her garden and I think the Gift card to a local nursery would be a perfect gift.
I would LOVE a compost bin!! We have started composting but are using a DIY option, it is fine but I would love a proper set up.
I just got Kneeling pad for my birthday and I couldn’t ask for more. They all know I love gardening so much!
I’m looking for great gardening gift ideas. Thankfully, I have so many options right here not just rain boots or garden clippers. I just had my parents house garden installed, concrete work is finally done and now I gotta come up with gift ideas for them. Thanks for this!
These are some great gift ideas. My friend and sister love to garden.
These are all great ideas. I love the honey bee garden picks!
