Gifts for the Gardener

The holidays are the perfect time to show your favorite gardener how much you care. There are wonderful gardening gifts for every price range, from just a few dollars to many hundreds. And there's something for every taste.

Buy the gardener you love a complete gardening tool set, or just one or two single high-quality items, like pruning shears with replaceable blades, or a spade, shovel, or rake.

Gardening shoes, clogs, or boots are great utilitarian items for those of us who like to dig in the dirt—although your gardener would call it soil—and gloves and hats often need to be replaced.

Ideas for other presents include a subscription to a Florida-specific gardening magazine, wheelbarrows, birdfeeders, bat houses, or fountains.
