Do you have a green thumb? Do you like to garden? Even if you said no to either of those questions, finding a gift for someone who loves being in the garden shouldn’t be so hard.
It may seem like the gardener in your life would be hard to buy a gift for, but there are actually a ton of ideas that would be perfect for them! I love it when I get something as a gift for me to use while gardening. It makes me excited because I know I will use it.
This simple gift guide has the best gifts and unique ideas to get you thinking about what to buy your favorite gardener.
The Best Gardening Gifts
Gardening Tools Set
This beautiful set would make the perfect gift for the gardener in your life. This set has the essential tools a gardener needs! It’s bright and reminds me of springtime, which I love!
It comes with all the basic garden tools a gardener needs to work in their garden beds, and it also comes with a basket for gathering produce, herbs, and flowers.
It’s perfect for beginner gardeners or someone who needs to update to some new tools. You can’t go wrong with this gift!

Hand Tools Set
You can’t go wrong with a simple hand tools set with garden shears, scissors, and a trowel. Every gardener needs to have a set.
I prefer mine to be pretty like this one, but a regular set is still a great gift idea.
Garden Gloves with Claws
These are such a neat idea! You can work in the garden easily with this all-in-one tool! Protect your hands from the dirt while also being able to dig holes for your plants or dig up weeds.
My husband showed me these a few days ago, and I would LOVE to have a pair (wink wink- I hope he sees this! Lol). Garden lovers will be obsessed with this unique gift idea.
Watering Can
A nice watering can is essential for gardening! It would be a very cute idea to buy a watering can as a gift and fill it with other gardening tools or accessories.
Having the right tools is essential for a gardener. I love to have a larger-sized watering can so that I don’t have to go back and forth filling it up so much.
Green House
My husband and I LOVE our greenhouse! It is the perfect size for us- we are small-scale gardeners, but we love to start our vegetables, herbs, and flowers from seed.
It’s perfect to start new plants in. It has been one of the best purchases we have made for gardening. It was affordable, too!
A Raised Garden Bed
A raised garden bed is a fabulous gift for a gardener. I received one similar to this for my birthday last year. My sweet dad made me one, and I can’t wait to put it to use this year.
A tall, raised garden bed is perfect for a front or back porch and makes tending to the garden easier.
It’s perfect for a small vegetable garden or pretty flower beds.

Tiller
As I was thinking of ideas for this post, I asked my husband what he thought would be a good gift for a gardener. Of course, he would throw out one of the largest items a gardener needs (lol).
So, if you want a large gift to surprise the gardener in your life, this is it!
Garden Kneeler and Seat
A gardening kneeler and seat is an amazing gift idea for an avid gardener! It can be painful to squat or kneel for a long time to weed your garden, plant, or pick vegetables and herbs.
This seat is so helpful to be able to spend more time in the garden. It’s perfect for a gardener of any age.
Garden Decor
How fun is decorating a garden or flower bed with rocks, statues, bird houses, or light-up globes? My mom has always been a huge fan of outside and garden decorations.
I love to decorate my herb garden with decorative rocks.
I also have the cutest metal snail in between my herb boxes. It adds a cute flair to one of my favorite areas in my yard.
Sun Hat
A sun hat is great for more than just gardening, so it’s perfect for someone who enjoys being in an outdoor space.
It’s great for someone who loves to garden to help protect their face and neck from the sun while working in the garden. Then they could also use it when hiking or doing other outside activities.
Seeds
Seeds… how can you go wrong with buying a plant lover seed packets? If you know what flowers, herbs, or vegetables the gardener in your life loves, grab some seeds and a bag of soil to get them a head start with their garden.
Some flowers, herbs, and vegetables do not come back every year, so new seeds will be needed!

Indoor Herb Garden
An Indoor herb garden is a great idea for someone who doesn’t have a lot of room for outdoor plants. It’s the perfect size to fit anywhere in a home that gets plenty of sunlight (even small spaces!).
Indoor plants are fun and easy to take care of.
Rain Guage
A rain gauge is a fun and helpful tool for gardeners. It can help them see how much rain they get after a storm or rainy weather.
Gardening Boots
Gardening boots are the perfect gardening gift! They are similar to rain boots because they protect your feet from the mud or getting dirty when working in the garden.
These are great to use in the garden after a heavy rain when it’s messy and muddy.
Plant Markers
I love to use plant markers in my garden. I can usually remember what I planted in my garden, but I like to use the markers as a reminder until the plant starts producing buds or vegetables.
Even a seasoned gardener needs a reminder every now and then!
Bird Feeders
Bird feeders are such a wonderful gift idea for your gardening friends. I don’t usually put my bird feeders up in the garden, but I put them around my yard.
It’s so fun and peaceful to watch the small birds land on the feeder and eat.
If the gardener in your life is also a nature lover, they will be very happy with this gift!

I absolutely love all of these gift ideas. My mom loves to garden and since it’s mother’s day next month your gift guide helped me tremendously!
I’m glad you found it helpful 🙂
Sharing with my hubby! Those garden tools are precious! And the little greenhouse is a dream.
I hope you get a little greenhouse some day! You will love it 🙂
Love all of these ideas! A good sun hat is such a good idea and universal for anyone! I got my Mum the gloves with the claws and they are super handy!
I agree, it is universal for everyone. The gloves with claws would make working in the garden easier as well!
Great gift guide for gardeners. My favorite gardening tool are my rubber boots – it’s always so wet in the spring.
The spring is usually wet where I live, too. The claw gloves are my favorite on this list.
I love the green house. Mine is getting old from so much use — time to upgrade to a newer version. Great gifts for avid gardeners.
Thank you! I hope someday we can upgrade to a larger one, but for now, it’s the perfect size for us 🙂
That’s such a cool pop up greenhouse tent.
Thank you! It’s been great for us so far.
Great gift ideas for a gardener! These are perfect ideas just in time for planting season this spring. Thank you for sharing these great ideas!
Thank you for reading!
The little greenhouse is so cute! I’m not much of a gardener but always think it would be nice to be better at it. Great little article!
Thank you. I wasn’t the best with plants until I met my husband. He’s taught me so much, and I have come to love gardening and taking care of our plants so much!
Love these ideas as a hobby gardener! 🙂
Thank you 🙂
I love these gift ideas! I actually need to get myself the claw-gloves because we’ve got some tough soil to work with here in the desert, and those would make life so much easier!
They would be perfect for that tough soil!
My grandmother is a gardener and I always run out of things to buy her! You’ve given me a list of items to go off now! I love the small greenhouse!
I’m glad I could help you find some ideas 🙂 The greenhouse is awesome!
You put together such a great list! I’ve been eyeing one of those garden kneeler and seat. That would sure help my knees!
It definitely would! It hurts to kneel for too long.
As a gardener I agree these are the perfect gifts! Love that greenhouse.
Thank you!
I’m all about giving and receiving practical gifts. These are great outdoor gift ideas.
Thank you 🙂 I think they are practical for sure.
These are great gifts for gardeners! Perfect for Mothers Day!
Thank you! Definitely great for Mother’s Day 🙂
Amazing gift ideas. I love DIY because it’s one of the things that I enjoyed many times before. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for reading 🙂
Love that floral set would make the perfect gift!
It’s so pretty!
Thanks for sharing! I definitely like the idea of a raised garden bed. That would make gardening so much easier and enjoyable!
I love mine! It has made gardening much easier.
I love gardening and these are great gift ideas! Wishing I could get one as a gift for my birthday.
Maybe you will 🙂
