Most of us find joy in watching a garden grow, but only a handful have a desire to get their hands dirty. This list of the best gifts for gardeners is for the latter. Ya know, the green-thumbed folks who would rather spend their days digging, weeding and planting than doing just about anything else.
I know my strengths — gifting is one of them (ahem, I am Yahoo's Gifting Editor after all), but gardening certainly isn't. That's why I turned to actual gardeners, many of whom run blogs and businesses in the space, for guidance on the best gardening gifts money can buy. This gift guide has all of their go-to gadgets and gear, along with a few nice-to-haves from Amazon, Uncommon Goods and Etsy for good measure.
Maybe you know a relatively new gardener who needs better tools to get the job done. Or maybe you're on the hunt for a clever way to protect him or her from the summer sun. Or perhaps you simply want a unique gift that serves as a reminder that you're always rooting for them (and their plants, of course). Below, you'll find it all and more, starting as low as $6.
In this guide, gift ideas are broken up into the following categories: Best gardening tools | Best gardening accessories | Best lawn ornaments and garden decor | Unique gifts for the gardener who has everything
