I periodically write online content for Farmers’ Almanac and recently did a story that may help out with last minute shopping for the gardeners on your Christmas list (or any time of the year, really!).
One idea I should include is the valuable (and valued!) gift of time – helping someone weed their overgrown beds, turning compost, mowing the lawn, pruning a tree and so on.
Do you have anything to add? What gardening-related gifts would you like to give or receive? This doesn’t have to be small stuff – dream big if you like!

Thank you! I needed some great ideas!
great ideas
The Gardening Magazine subscription one worked well for a June birthday – I’ll keep it going
Thank you so much for the link to ideas. I have a gardening friend that has everything so I needed fresh ideas, A subscription to Farmers almanac might be just the ticket.
Oh, . . . .that is a gift I am not sure I would like, just because I do not like anyone else messing with my garden! I need to think of some gifts pretty quick, and I know that most people are not as uptight about their gardens as I am. (Because I dislike the tradition of gifts so much, I tend to delay it . . . although I do well with it when I put my mind to it.)
I do like to put packets of seed in with Christmas cards to those who would appreciate them. For my Pa, I am sending a bundle of sticks – really – they are cuttings from an apple tree that he knew as a kid. (It lives on a parcel where I now work.) He will probably graft a few. It is funny to consider what sorts of gifts one can get away with for those who enjoy gardening. Ugly bearded iris rhizomes would seem weird to those who do not understand.
Fantastic ideas, Sheryl. Thanks.

My husband often gets me a truck load of mushroom compost for Mother’s Day. Kind of smelly, but a great gift!
