Questions and Answers
What do first-time gardeners need?
What a first-time gardener may need depends on their gardening intentions. Regardless, there are a couple of items that can’t hurt for any first-time gardener to have such as soil and seeds. Pickett advises acquiring “seeds that are well adapted to growing in your area.”
In addition to the fundamentals of gardening, “in almost every case, I would start with a really good book,” says Schanen. The two we included on our list: The Well-Tended Perennial Garden: The Essential Guide to Planting and Pruning Techniques, Third Edition and Groundbreaking Food Gardens: 73 Plans That Will Change the Way You Grow Your Garden are two which Schanen particularly recommends for beginners as they can be referred back to throughout their gardening journey.
Along with the above, “a really good trowel is a good idea because that covers a variety of different kinds of gardening,” explains Schanen.
What are practical things to buy gardeners?
Practical gifts for gardeners include “garden tools (forks, trowels, shovels, etc.), garden hats, seeds, bulbs, aprons, stools or kneelers, garden sleeves, raised garden beds, grow towers, preservation equipment (dehydrators, juicers, strainers, vacuum sealers, etc.), garden boots, and harvest baskets,” explains Spratley.
How much should you spend on a gift for a gardener?
When it comes to how much you should spend on a gift for a gardener, it depends on your budget. However, “you can buy a well-appreciated gift for a gardener at almost any price range,” says Schanen. Whether you’re looking to spend less than $15 or upwards of $200, there are gardening gifts that can meet every type of budget and every kind of gardener.
If you’re on a budget and still want to buy a gift that will impress them, the Plant Life Support Self-Waterer and Crabtree & Evelyn Gardeners Hand Cream are great options, to name a few.
If you have some more wiggle room in your budget and want to splurge, some of the higher-priced items on our list that are great for avid gardeners include the Gorilla Cart Heavy Duty Poly Yard Dump Cart and Stihl GTA 26 Battery-Powered Garden Pruner.
