Gifts for the Gardeners in Your Life

These are gifts that I know any gardener would love to receive, no matter what the occasion.

Garden Hod

You've harvested your vegetables and they are resting in a lovely basket ready to go into the kitchen. Unfortunately, most vegetables--especially the root crops--are usually covered with sand and soil from the garden which makes quite a mess in your kitchen sink.  You could take them back out of the basket and wash them off with a hose or you could use this handy Garden Hod and harvest and clean your vegetables all in the same basket.  Crafted from pine and birch woods with a steam-bent oak handle. Weather resistant hand-rubbed oil finish and vinyl coated mesh basket. Garden Hod size 19 1\4" x 11" x 7 1\4".  Burpee
 


Flower Pot Man

I bought these for myself and for my gardener friends last Christmas and we all loved them. I've always admired the crafty gardeners who have life-sized scarecrows made of pots in their kitchen gardens and these whimsical pieces of British garden art look just like the real thing. Hang or seat Flower Pot Man anywhere around the house or garden, and watch him generate smiles. Constructed entirely of terra cotta pots and sisal twine. Standard Flower Pot Man is 7-1/2" W x 11-1/2" H with a 4" hanger. Large Flower Pot Man is 8-1/2" W x 12-1/2" H with an 8" hanger  Gardeners Supply.


 


Garden Books

How about giving a good gardening book to your favorite northern gardener? I've collected all my favorite garden books on my Book Page.

I especially recommend the newly revised "Growing Perennials in Cold Climates" by Minnesota writers Mike Heger, Debbie Lonnie and Larry Whitman for those just getting into gardening. It describes several bulletproof hardy perennials and also gives good basic gardening information on installing and maintaining a cold climate perennial garden.   Amazon.


Classic Potting Bench

Keep everything you need for starting seeds and repotting plants, right at your fingertips. This potting bench features hooks for scissors and hand tools, and a roomy bottom shelf for storing soil and pots. The planting area has a slatted top so extra soil collects in a plastic slide-out bin below. At just 37" wide, the bench can be located almost anywhere to give you a convenient work area.
  • Designed for repotting and starting seeds
  • Handy lower shelf to store supplies
  • Upper shelf holds small items like seed packets
  • 5 hooks for hand tools

Wind Spinners

Wind spinners are garden art when motionless, but they really catch the eye when a breeze gets them spinning. The slightest breeze makes these spinners come alive. An instant and dramatic focal point for your garden, deck or porch; these kinetic sculptures spin freely adding interest and movement to your yard and garden. The Dahlia and Ribbon spinners have two blades that spin in opposite directions to create a fascinating visual effect.

Wind Chimes

I cannot have enough wind chimes! On a breezy  day you can hear my collection from anywhere in the garden or with the windows open anywhere in the house.  I can even tell the direction of the wind that day depending on which wind chimes I hear tinkling and ringing outside.  I know that any of your gardening friends will welcome beautiful wind chimes as a gift and Amazon and also Wind and Weather both have a wide variety to choose from including the beautiful moonlight waves wind chimes that are pictured above.  Amazon
