How To Put Together Your Own Gardening Gift Basket
By Bonnie Duran
Avid gardeners will surely appreciate a well-planned bushel of goodies to help them keep their hobby up. Givers can actually have a really fun time getting the items together in a personalized gardening gift basket for a friend.
Putting together your own cornucopia of garden goodies can cost a lot less than buying one off the shelf or off a website. You can have control over the items choices and the container you place them in.
All the item will of course need something to hold them all, so choosing the container is a good start. You can always go with the usual basket, but why not get more creative by using quirky, fun items such as flower pots, watering cans, garden tool bags, and little toes. The best part it, she can definitely use them.
There are many ways to go about choosing the contents than just focusing on a garden theme. You can further expound on the theme by creating baskets to match the seasons. Include spring, summer, or fall flowers as you please. Perhaps you can use a herb theme where all the seed packets are of the recipient's favorite herbs.
Thoughtfully include gardening staples for your friend to use. Gloves and hats will protect your friend from the sun and from getting pricked or developing calluses. Toss in hand tool such as weeders, cultivators, trowels, and transplanters. Kneeling pads and spray bottles can be great, too.
Many gardeners know that they need to care for their hands, especially since they use them so often. Sometimes, they may even experience some back pain from doing what they love. This is why some spa items are more than appropriate to include.
Add a bottle of sunscreen with a high SPF, nice smelling hand cream, pedicure or manicure nail kits, body scrubs, bath salts, or organic soaps. Other lovely elements to a gardening gift basket are CDs of botany tips or music to work to, garden magazines, packets and small bottles of gourmet food, fruit, fresh flowers, and cookies.
