Your Questions About Gardening

Daniel asks…

Gardening gifts?

what is a good gift to give someone who likes to spend time in the backyard watering and taking care of plants

GardenersCardiff answers:

Find a small garden bench or paint an old chair to have them sit amongst the plantings if possible.

Maybe give them some herbs to plant that they do not have, or if they like to add annual flowers, buy them some starter kit supplies and seeds to grow their own in the winter and be ready to plant in the Spring. Bundle your goodies in a nice watering can or bucket and add some small hand tools & gloves to use.

My favorite thing is getting a mailbox painted with the name on it and say like Anna’s Garden or something special on it. Tell them to plant amongst the plants and have everything they need right there inside of the mailbox. It holds tools, plant food, gloves, and even a small hat. It is organized and original, and out of the weather too.

Iron cut out sculpted figures, wagon wheels for trellises, etc. Would work for me too. Butterfly houses, hummingbird feeders are a good choice as well.

Richard asks…

Gardening Gifts ideas for my 80-year old nan?

Limit is £40 (50 for an amazing gift)

GardenersCardiff answers:

If she’s already a keen and active gardener, she’s probably got all the basic equipment, though she might like a really lovely soft, strong, expensive pair of leather gardening gloves, or maybe one of those long, thin windowsill propagators with lots of small containers for different batches of seeds and cuttings. Alternatively, a catalogue and gift token for a nursery specialising in the sort of plants you know she likes to grow would be welcome, because she’d have all the fun of choosing for herself, and could say when she wanted the seeds or plants to be delivered – midwinter isn’t always the best time. If she’s becoming less active, and you want this to be a winter/christmas present, then something to grow which will bloom indoors would be a good idea, eg a basket of bulbs or spring plants ready planted up. It really depends on what sort of person she is – it’s hard to make suggestions for someone when all you’ve told us about her is that she’s in her 80s, and presumably interested in growing things!

Donna asks…

Cool gardening gifts?

Im still trying to by my dad a gift for Christmas but im looking for something he could use for gardening..he likes to plant flowers and plants..definitely has one of the nicer yards in his neighborhood so does anybody know any nice ideas?

GardenersCardiff answers:

Hello Lady me,

I have been a gardener for sixty (60) years. I have nine rare fruit trees, a big vegetable garden, and a beautiful front and back yard with dozens of flowers. If your dad has one of the best yards, I am sure he has just about everything for gardening he needs. But I will give you a gift he will remember, and you will be very proud of. He will be in his garden the next day.

In order to maintain and keep a good garden, every great gardener should have one. His first words will be, “I always wanted one of these.” If you truly wish to see an unbelievable smile on your father’s face at Christmas, buy him a “PH TESTING KIT” for his soil. Believe me, your father will truly love it. It is something no one will think of giving as a gift. It will be a gardener’s dream.

Http://www.Gardeners.com

This web site will give you an idea of what you are looking for. Type Ph testing kit in the “keyword or item#” search box on the upper right hand side. Then go to second page.

Cost: The cost can be anywhere from $7 to $100. They all work good. The more expensive will last longer. A nice one will cost about $20 at Home Depot or any good nursery. I can already see the smile on your face as he opens his gift from his daughter.

I hope I have helped. You have a great day, and I wish you and your family a happy holiday season, from Los Angeles.
