A Gift of Your Time

Even holding a ladder for tree pruning will be appreciated. You can also offer to keep small children to allow the busy gardener to get some tasks completed.

Materials and directions for building a:

Compost bin-The gift that keeps on giving.
Drying Rack-Hang overhead in a garage or storage building for drying flowers or herbs.
Potting Table for indoors or out.

Seeds-Bulbs-Shrubs-Trees

You will probably know the taste of your favorite gardener by looking at their yard, so finding the perfect gift should not be hard. Small flowering trees and shrubs make wonderful gifts that can last a lifetime.

Seeds and bulbs will bring your gift to mind each time they bloom for your favorite gardener. Consider giving a collection of seeds and bulbs for a year round display of color from that first crocus to the red berries of winter.

Just remember that the top gifts for your favorite gardener are those chosen especially for them. It is not the cost that matters to the recipient, but rather the thought put into the choosing of the gift that makes it well received and appreciated.
