Beyond the Ordinary
We’ve searched the internet and found lots of lists of gifts for gardeners. They’re great lists full of the usual suggestions — gardening gloves and tools, gift certificates and houseplants. Not quite satisfied, we put together our own list. These are the things we’d love to find under the tree this year! To make it easier for you, we’ve arranged the list by category. Hope this helps you find the perfect gift for the gardener in your life.
