Even in Winter a gardener knows there’s work to be done. Now
is the time to ease the minds of
your “green thumb’ friends by getting them some useful gifts
for around the house. Check out
five gifts that your gardener gurus will love!
1. Compost Bin
What a great way to promote sustainability and
keep those veggie scraps under control! Available in an array of colors and styles and can
be kept on the counter or under the kitchen sink. If you keep packing your scraps into these
bins and adding them to your compost pile, you will add wonderful nutrients to your soil for your
garden next year.
2. Terrarium
Great project whether you build it yourself or
buy it pre-made! Terrariums are mini ecosystems that thrive off of cool, moist environments. You
can plant mosses or any other low growing, water loving genus for a real in door focal piece!
3. Personalized Floral Dishware
It’s always a nice touch to
have some of the outdoors come in!
Personalized mugs, dishes, and even letterheads are a great
addition to any home or workspace. These gifts are thoughtful and fun for friends and family.
4. Birdhouse
What
better way to brighten the day for your fellow environmentalists! Bird houses can be hand made or bought to focus on housing
your local feathered friends. From cardinals and sparrows to finches and more, there is a custom birdhouse for each! They are also a lovely accent piece to any garden. Make sure to look for
birdhouses that facilitate native species!
5. Gardening Books
It’s never too late to keep learning! Books
about traditional and contemporary gardens, or specialty subjects like moon gates and
native stone are great ways to continue your or your friends’ landscape design
knowledge.
