Emerson maintained, "A garden is like those pernicious machineries which catch a man's coat—skirt or his hand, and draw in his arm, his leg and his whole body to irresistible destruction." The gardener responds, "What a way to go!" Once gardening gets into the man, it's hard to get the man out of the garden. Gifts for his garden would at least ensure a place in his thoughts and heart for you. Here is a bouquet of gift ideas for the gardener on your gift list. |

A variety of structures lend themselves to the beauty and function of a garden. Arrange for the construction of a gazebo, fountain, pond (complete with fish, frogs, lily pads, and bridge), pergola, trellis, or shed in the gardener's garden. A cordless telephone is a useful gift for the gardener whose phone rings every time she's halfway to the garden shed. Garden accessories that serve as focal points are fun gifts for
gardeners. Give a birdbath, birdhouse, sundial, or garden bench. Enroll the flower gardener in a community course on flower arranging. To present a gift of gardening tools, "wrap" them in a shiny galvanized garbage can or wheelbarrow and tie a big bow through the handles. Give a composting unit, chipper, or shredder.
