Great Gardening Gifts
Like architects and engineers of nature, gardeners possess an idea of the perfect garden. While gardeners always enjoy replenishing their stocks with new tools and accessories, other great gifts offer ways to grow more plants and add charm to their outdoor or indoor green palace. Before gifting, one way to find out the best gift is by accompanying the gardener to the shop on a supply run and find out what tools and plants she needs in her garden. Does this Spark an idea?

Gardening Tools
-
Gift baskets stocked with tools or single items with a lot of value offer a great idea for a gardening present. From pots to pruning shears, gardening tools also encompass gadgets, like a wearable gardening stool or garden kneeler seat. Nitrite gloves are inexpensive, and yet every gardener needs a good pair. Each of these gifts makes the gardener's life easier and helps with all the activities necessary to build a healthy stock of plants. Gift cards to a gardening shop also make a great addition to any gift basket.
Garden Decorations
-
Garden art flags add charm to a garden, and if you want to personalize a great gift, online stores like Gifts.com allow you to add your own name, date, favorite quote or message to any garden stake. You also pick out a design for the flag, such as birds, flowers or butterflies. Garden stakes also come in ceramic, iron and plaque styles, so your gardener's tastes match the decoration. Another idea is a small wishing-well fountain that gardeners place anywhere among their blossoming troops. Red Envelope sells an 11-by-7-inch ceramic wishing well in a glazed soft green color that comes with eight engraved coins.

Organic Tomato Kits
-
An all-in-one organic tomato kit helps gardeners grow tasty tomatoes right in the backyard. Gardener's Supply Company sells a kit with a self-watering planter, tomato support cage, 40 quarts of container mix and one pound of organic 5-6-5 fertilizer. Along with the tomato success kit, add in gifts like green tomato ladders and cage extensions to let gardeners build up a tomato crop. This gift keeps giving with fresh tomatoes throughout the summer.
Standing Garden
-
Gardeners who live in apartments or in small area tend to not have access to a yard or outdoor garden. A standing garden or trellis for a balcony or porch allows a green thumb to grow tomatoes, herbs, peppers and salad greens on wheels. Gardener's Supply offers a standing garden made from cedar and comes with a 10 1/2-inch-deep planting area that holds 100 quarts of container mix. The standing garden does require assembly, but if you want to really impress the gardener, assemble first and then wheel out with a few gift-wrapped pots and seed packets.
