Top 5 Gardening Gifts
1) Ceramic Self-Watering Herb Pot
This self-watering herb pot cultivates herbs almost all by itself. Fill it up every two to three weeks, and a plant will automatically absorb just what it needs through the planter’s unglazed ceramic water reservoir. It’s a great-looking and low-maintenance way to try your hand at gardening.
2) Pulaski Axe
Splitting wood isn't easy, but with the Pulaski Axe, it's not longer a chore. With a steel core and carbon steel blade, the edge stays sharp and is easy to maneuver. It even has a steel pommel built in for hammering or trenching. And thanks to an included fitted sheath, you can store your Axe safely when you're ready to head inside.
3) Wheelbarrow Organization Shelf - Small
Double-deck your ride with this wheelbarrow organizer and carry all your essentials in a single, tidy trip. Arrive armed with a drink in a coaster, your phone in a compartment, and your small and long-handled tools secured in place. Who knew wheelbarrows could look this neat?
4) Handmade 13" Garden Tools
Hand-forged garden tools based on functional and time-tested designs.
5) Garden Scissors
These Garden Scissors from Barebones Living are made with walnut inlaid handles and feature an ambidextrous and comfortable grip. The blades are rust-resistant and can be sharpened as needed to keep you trimming, snipping, and pruning.
