Birthday’s, engagements, weddings, anniversaries, Mothers or Fathersday, housewarmings, promotions or just because: these are all kinds of occasions to give a gift to a loved one. If that loved one is a gardener you’ll be quick to think of flowers or flower bulbs. Yet there are so many great gifts to give. That’s why we made a list of the best gifts for gardeners, so you’ll know what to surprise them with!
Clothing
First thing you might think of as a garden gift idea is flowers or flower bulbs. Which are great on their own, yet we want to highlight different gifts which are great for gardeners as well. If you need a gift for someone who enjoys being outside and to work in their garden, clothing is a good place to start. They might need a hat to protect them from the sun, some comfortable clogs to move around freely and an apron to prevent their clothing from getting dirty. Last but not least you could give them gloves, so they can dig around in the soil and care for their garden without any issues.
Utensils
Even though an excellent gardener can do most with his or her hands, utensils will help them reach new highs with their garden. A simple broom, rake or spade fork are a nice place to start. If you want to go a little further, you could look for a nice watering can or even spray wand, which will help them keep the soil healthy and moist. You could also pick it up a notch with a wheelbarrow, gardening tool belt or kneeling pad. All of these will come in handy as a gift for gardeners who have everything.
Flowers & plants
Of course this list of the best gifts for gardeners would not be complete without flowers and plants. Let us say first that flowers and flower bulbs are marvelous gifts to give. Especially flower bulbs for calla lilies and dahlias, since this is a gift that has a long duration period. First you get to plant the bulbs and later on enjoy seeing them bloom. If taken care of properly, they’ll bloom again next year since they are perennials. If you give someone a calla lily it symbolizes appreciation and admiration, charm and passion or gratitude. A dahlia is known to represent someone whose sacred values such as elegance, dignity or inner strength stand strong. Furthermore there are a lot of cool gardening gifts in the ‘plants & flowers’ category. For instance a birth month flower grow-kit or flower pouches. It doesn’t matter in which form you give them, the gardener will be happy you did.
Other gift ideas for gardeners
All of the gifts above are great, yet it can be very hard to think of a gift for a gardener who has everything. So here are some extra options for you to choose from. To get the best results, gardening (with or without flower bulbs) takes a bit of planning. So why not help your gardener by giving him or her this cool gardening gift: a Papier ‘The Gardener’ Planner. If your gardener likes a drink every now and again, this ‘Cocktail Grow Kit‘ will be a hit!

Last but not least sunscreen, every gardener needs to protect their skin so you can never go wrong with sunscreen.
