The Best Holiday Gifts for Gardeners
Happy holidays! It’s that time of year again, where everyone is bustling around buying presents and preparing for the upcoming holidays (which always sneak up quicker than I expect!).
If you've got a gardener in your life, here's my guide to the perfect holiday gifts for gardeners.
(Pssst... these are also great gift ideas if you need to treat yourself this holiday season. Just sayin.')
Before we get to the best gifts for gardeners. . .
Let’s take a moment to pause. We all know how stressful this time of year can be, but I’ve found that setting intentions for the holiday season helps me avoid the overwhelm.
After spending a year focusing on meaningful goals with my Garden-to-Table membership community, I’ve made a decision—I’m not buying any stuff for gifts this year.
Will you join me? No socks, no cute mugs, and definitely no pre-packaged gift baskets.
Instead, let’s share the gift of gardening this holiday season!
Whether it’s homemade treats from your garden or setting someone up to start or elevate their own, it’s a gift that truly gives back. Need inspiration?

VERTICAL GROWING OPTIONS
Limited on space…
GARDEN TOWERS
Have y’all heard of the Garden Tower Project? Thinking you don’t have enough space to garden is a thing of the past with garden towers. If you or a loved one has been thinking about starting a garden for a while but is short on space, a garden tower is the perfect solution.
These vertical growing towers are easy to grow in and can fit into small spaces (or quickly moved out of the way thanks to wheels on the bottoms of the towers). This is such a convenient option for growing some greens or herbs right on the patio.
Stocking Stuffers for Gardeners
What gift does any new gardener need? Some of your favorite garden tools and something to grow!
GARDEN PRUNERS - Every gardener needs good quality pruning sheers. These pruning from Modern Sprout are my favorite and I use them everyday!
