Christmas Gift Ideas: The Gardener's Holiday Basket

Christmas shopping for the gardener on your list is quick and easy if you know what to look for. Presenting the gardener on your list with a Gardener's Christmas Gift Basket is an excellent way to personalize your gift giving. These gift baskets can be made to fit any budget. To alter the size of the gift, simply change the size of the container and fill accordingly.

Planter: There are many different styles and sizes of planters available for a reasonable price. Choose one that will reflect your gardener's personal taste and style. This will serve as the basket to hold your Christmas gifts.

Poinsettia or Christmas Cactus: These will add holiday cheer to your gift basket and will live for years with proper care.

Gardening Book: Gardeners love to read about new varieties of flowers and veggies. Give them the gift of a good gardening book for Christmas. If you're not sure which book they would prefer, give them a gift certificate to a bookstore.

Gift Certificate to a Seed Catalogue: Gardeners love to try out new and interesting varieties of plants. For those on a limited income, just purchasing the seeds may be prohibitive. Give them a gift certificate to their favorite catalogue so they can choose exactly what they want.

Gift Certificate to the Nursery or Greenhouse: Even gardeners who start their own seeds like to purchase a few plants that have been grown in the greenhouse. A gift certificate will be a welcome addition to a Christmas Gift Basket.

Plant Spikes: These fertilizer spikes come in a variety of sizes for container plantings, as well as, for shrubs and perennials. Gardeners will welcome a gift of fertilizer spikes for their prize roses or other shrubs.

Potted Christmas Tree: A potted Christmas tree will bring holiday cheer to the home during the holidays and years of enjoyment in the yard afterwards. Give the gardener on your list a lasting Christmas memory with this live tree.

Windowsill Greenhouse: These handy little greenhouses are designed to sit on the windowsill and soak up all the sun. They are an excellent choice for those who have limited space for starting seedlings in the spring.
