Find Gardening Gifts for Every Budget
Falling right in the middle of spring, Mother’s Day is a perfect time to invest in a few gardening gifts for your mom. If she’s a gardener, you’ll have the enjoyment of seeing her get use out of her gifts right away, and she’ll appreciate that you’ve honored a hobby that’s important to her. Even if she seemingly has every gardening tool ever conceived, you’re likely to find a suggestion on this list that will please your mother:
Getting the job done…in style: A separate set of clothes for digging in the dirt is a way to introduce a touch of luxury into your mother’s gardening. Purchase lightweight items that add UV protection and can be tossed into the washer after a long day of planting or weeding. Don’t forget to add a coordinating floppy hat to protect her face from the sun.
For the rose lover: If your mom’s specialty is roses, you can find some gardening gifts that are ideal for her work. Try a pair of well-made rubber-coated gloves, perfect for handling and pruning thorny stems. You could also invest in a thorn remover that makes it easy for her to give her roses to others as gifts.
Make gardening easier on her body: Gardening is hard work, so look for tools that ease the strain. Even if it seems like she owns every kind of gardening trowel ever made, consider purchasing one for her that has a gel handle or other ergonomic design features. You can also purchase a combination kneeler and seat that helps her cushion her joints while working.
Get the kids involved: If your mom is also Grandma, you’ve got a perfect opportunity for thoughtful gardening gifts. Use a kit to create a handprint stepping stone of all her grandkids’ hands, or have them paint a special flower pot for display on her porch. Add her favorite flowers and have the kids help plant them.
The right equipment: If you’d like to spoil your mom this year, consider getting her a composter for her backyard, or a classic wooden gardening cart for transporting her plants and tools around the garden. A large basket for storing a garden hose also adds to the beauty of her yard. Investing in plant markers is also a great way to enhance her enjoyment of her garden. Year after year, she can use her plant markers to help her remember where she planted each kind of veggie and flower.
Get technical: If your mom is not only into gardening, but also the latest tech, think about a gift that combines her interests. There are seed heating mats that speed up germination, watering cans that increase the level of oxygen reaching the plants and digital thermometers that monitor outdoor conditions.
