Top 5 Gardening Gifts
1) Vegetable Grow Bed & Trellising Kit
Up, up, they grow. This super smart gardening bed is made from durable foam and is the perfect home for growing your fresh veggies. Easily put it together—without tools—for the growing season. Then quickly disassemble it and store it away so it’s ready to grow again next year.
2) Handmade 13" Garden Tool Set
Narrow trowel that is perfect for planting bulbs or removing weeds with a long taproot.
3) Clip-On Bucket Handles
These bucket handles are reliable, reusable, and won’t interfere with lids or liners. Clip them onto a three- or five-gallon bucket to equally distribute weight and easily haul a load when you’re working in the yard or DIY-ing. The handles snap together for seamless storage when they’re not on carrying duty.
4) Garden Scissors
These Garden Scissors from Barebones Living are made with walnut inlaid handles and feature an ambidextrous and comfortable grip. The blades are rust-resistant and can be sharpened as needed to keep you trimming, snipping, and pruning.
5) Garden Edger
Maintain garden edges with a manual lawn edger. This tool makes it easy to get a manicured look out in the yard—one motion is all it takes to trim the invading grass edge, cut the roots, and groom soil back into beds. Works well with flower beds (including those bordered by concrete or pavers), walkways and more.
