Stumped about what to give the gardener on your list? Here are some ideas:
- A good pair of insulated, water-repellent gloves that will keep working hands warm when temperatures drop below freezing
- Sturdy chore boots, 100% waterproof
- Professional hand pruners or folding hand saw – Felco is a great brand
- Japanese weeding knife and sheath, useful to ferret out taprooted weeds and to divide perennials
- Renew or initiate membership in a garden or nature nonprofit, or a plant society devoted to a specific type of plant
- A rain barrel and diverter
- Gift certificate for seed packets or plants to order for spring planting
- One of the new crop of hardcover gardening books
- Collapsable garden rake with extendable handle
- Pop-up bag that can haul up to 17 pounds of debris
