Quality Plant Markers Are a Perfect Holiday Surprise

plant markersThe blooms are long gone and the trees are nearly bare. Even your pumpkins displayed as harvest decorations are done. It’s time to plan your Christmas list, and for the gardener in your life, there may be nothing better than a gift that honors their passion. A quality set of plant markers may be just the thing: when everyone else is thinking scarves and hot cocoa gift sets, you’ll be right in tune with what’s on the mind of every gardener: spring.

When it comes to Christmas gifts for the gardener, it’s always the thought that counts, but why not come up with a really great thought? Here are a few thoughtful ideas for the gardening enthusiast:

High-quality garden tools: Sure, an experienced gardener likely already has a spade, but they may not own the one they’d really like to have. How often have they splurged on a really great garden tool? Talk with other gardeners or do some research and find out the best spades for your budget, and give that as a gift.

Something just for fun: If the gardener in your life has a spunky personality, or they are more reserved but have just a bit of flair in their style, consider something a little fun. Buy them gardening clogs in an outrageous print, or a re-potting apron that is embroidered with the name of their signature bloom. Get them a floppy hat that is a little over the top.

Membership or subscription: Maybe you have a local botanical garden that sells an annual membership, or there’s a magazine subscription that is filled with in-depth articles about gardening. Think about how to extend the time that your loved one can spend on gardening. Even a ticket to a home tour can be a fun way for someone that enjoys beauty to see how others might plant a clever succulent garden or they may have the opportunity to see an unusual set of terrariums.

Plant markers: Plant markers are a nice gift for any gardener because they create a sense of order to an outdoor space. Purchase high-quality plant markers that can be used year after year. Your loved one will appreciate such a thoughtful gift that gives them a way to look forward to a new level of organization in their plots.

Turn it around: Consider asking your gardening friend or family member for a gift of their gardening expertise this Christmas. Gardeners often love to share what they know, and their experience and expertise can be a priceless treasure to those just starting out with gardening. Request that your Christmas gift this year come in the form of a certificate for an hour or two with them in their garden. It will be a gift to both of you.
