Great Gardening Gifts: Tools of the Trade

I prefer to buy things once and have them last for a long time, so I only recommend and sell quality products that I personally use and trust. If I wouldn't use it, I will not endorse it! 

Here is a list of gardening tools and equipment that I think every gardener will love:

• Dramm Water Nozzle - This is something that we use at MIgardener all the time and I think every gardener needs one. The Dramm 400PL Water Breaker Professional nozzle is our nozzle of choice for gently watering on seedlings to simulate rain, providing deep waterings without drowning plants, and providing good amounts of dissolved oxygen to plant roots. It comes with a limited lifetime warranty and is quality-made!

• Vertical Planter - Growing in vertical planters really showcases plants, saves space, and adds beauty to any space. Greenstalk Vertical Planters are top-tier, sturdy, and quality-made. I use them and recommend them!

• Micro-Tip Snips - Fiskars micro tip snips truly do not get enough love! This Migardener approved tiny pruner does the work that so many other tools can’t do. They are great for harvesting herbs, harvesting cut and come again lettuce, and harvesting tomatoes in tight places that you can’t get normal pruners into. They are a quality precision tool with a limited lifetime warranty. 

• Seed Storage Container - The best seed storage containers can hold a large seed collection, keeping it protected and dry. My top pick is this storage box with 16 inner cases! Multiple seed packets can be stored in each 4” x 6” case, which fit neatly into the storage container. The container isn’t bulky or heavy and doesn’t take up much space.

• Gardening Tool Organizer - If someone is constantly losing tools, if they have a chaos of tools in the shed, or they are regularly carrying tools back and forth from the garage to the garden, they could use a garden tool bag or a gardening tool organizer rack on wheels so they can easily keep tools organized and transport all the tools to their garden in one trip. 

If you don’t see what you are looking for, we have also created an Amazon storefront featuring our most tried-and-true Amazon finds, as per popular request. Shop our Amazon storefront at https://www.amazon.com/shop/migardener. (We get a small commission at NO cost to you.) 

Gardening Gift Ideas: Plants & Seeds

What gardener does not love getting seeds?! Once a gardener starts a seed collection, it is like they are bitten by a bug, where they can’t ever have too many seeds.

If you are unfamiliar with shopping for seeds, you may feel overwhelmed by the different types of seeds (like GMO, hybrid, and heirloom). Let me make it easier for you by telling you that heirloom seeds are the treasured favorites of the seed world!

Visit our online store where we have a selection of over 750 different varieties of top-quality heirloom seeds in packets priced at just $2 each! We also sell flowering bulbs and dormant plants like berry plants, asparagus crowns, horseradish roots, grapes, and dahlias. With so many uncommon varieties, you really can’t go wrong.

Gifts For Gardeners: Books, Magazines & More

These gifts can be enjoyed any time of year and be used by any gardener young or old, seasoned gardener or beginner.

• Gardening Themed Game - Experience the joy and challenge of gardening in a fast-paced, family-friendly card game! The Growing Season card game combines strategy, chance, and a touch of nature’s unpredictability as players race to cultivate and protect their crops. Ideal for game nights, classrooms, or a quiet afternoon at home.

• Gardening Magazines - If they’re like me, I enjoy reading through gardening magazines during the winter months to get inspired and keep the winter blues away. As you can see in the video, I graded and rated gardening magazines to make your shopping easy. My top two gardening magazine recommendations are In Her Garden and Garden Gate, with Birds & Blooms coming in third. (Birds & Blooms may be the perfect choice if your gardener is also a bird lover!)

• Gardening Book - Give them a gift they can enjoy with their morning coffee or on a chilly winter evening. The AutoPilot Garden is a guidebook to hands-free gardening, featuring every method and a bit of knowledge that we use to grow big! 

• Garden Planner - Every gardener needs a journal to brainstorm ideas, map out a garden plan, log timelines and harvest information, and track expenses. The Garden Planner is divided into five separate sections: Vision, Calendar, Logs, Reference, and Notes, each containing a pocket, allowing you to stow any gardening notes and seed packets. 

• Planting Guide - Clyde’s Compact Garden Planting Guide is the ultimate garden planning and planting guide. This all-in-one tool helps with properly timing seed starting indoors and outdoors, as well as approximate harvest dates and plant spacing, all on a sliding bar adjustable for all growing climates and zones.

What To Give The Gardener Who Has Everything

Are you shopping for a gift for the gardener who seems to have everything? Go for something special or one-of-a-kind, like unique planters, personalized items, or something homemade. 

Consider garden decorations that reflect their personality like a creative raised garden bed, beautiful wind chimes, a whimsical rain gauge, or these charming silver-plated spoon plant markers. Or choose things that a gardener will consistently use up or wear out, such as gardening gloves and seeds.

If you’re still unsure and don’t know what to get the loved one who loves gardening, then a gift card is the way to go. With a MIgardener digital gift card from you, they can pick out whatever their gardening heart desires!

And don’t forget a card to go with your gift! Share your love with our delightful any-occasion garden-inspired printable cards.
