The Best Gifts for Gardeners

Even if you have a green thumb, any gardener would appreciate a little help, so we gathered up the best gifts for gardeners that they’ll love — but that their plants will love even more. Since living in New York City, most of our editors regrettably don’t have large enough backyard spaces (or any at all), to plant our own sprawling, luscious gardens, and are a bit lost when it comes to what exact tools, accessories and supplies are needed to start, and maintain, one. So in our research, we came across a handy Reddit thread on r/gardening, where users offered plenty of sound gift ideas. Below, is a combination of those responses, along with some of our personal favorite outdoor/gardening picks we’ve tested and highly recommend.
