I’m thinking about starting my holiday shopping soon. It appears that I’ve been having a bit too much fun planning for next gardening season and forgot about things like Christmas shopping.

If you’re like me and you have, well, all your shopping to do I can at least help out with any gardeners on your list. 

gift ideas for vegetable gardeners

If you have a keen vegetable gardener on your list make a gift basket full of gear they’ll love.

gifts for beginner gardeners

This kit is perfect for a budding gardener who wants to dip their toe into growing from seed.

gifts for advanced seed starters

Serious seed starters will actually use what might look like otherwise pretty boring gear. This is all high quality gear that they’ll use for years.

books for gRDENERS

Everyone loves a book. Gardeners, I’ve found, really love books. These are some of my favorites.

 


(Click on the covers to shop.)

  • American Roots features gardeners from around the U.S. (including me!) who share their distinct style.
  • I refer to Tropical Plants all the time.
  • The Well-Tended Perennial Garden is the book I give to everyone.

 


  • Delightful and informational letters shared by friends Beth Chatto and Christopher Lloyd.
  • Need container inspiration? Look no further than Claus Dalby.
  • My only problem with Margaret Roach’s books is that she doesn’t write more of them.

 


  • The shade bible.
  • Niki Jabbour’s books are all great but I always go back to this fun offering for new ideas.
  • Lee Reich is a pruning master and he writes in a way that makes it feel like he’s standing next to you telling you where to cut.

 

I featured lots of my favorite tools as gift ideas on Instagram. Check out my Gifts for Gardeners reels for a few ideas for yourself too.
