Bamboo Bee Hive
Attract bees with this bamboo bee hive by KIBAGA. A bee hive can be hung in a garden or on the balcony of an apartment. The bees will help you grow your garden and supply honey for cooking, baking, teas, etc.
Hang this decorative bee hive on a tree or nail from the roof of the house. Don’t forget to grow all kinds of flowers to keep these bees coming back to the garden!
Succulent Plant Club
Mailing clubs are all the rage these days. Monthly plant boxes are perfect for gardeners who love to see what’s coming next. The Succulent Plant Club from Leaf & Clay offers an exclusive box each month with at least three succulents, desert-dwelling plants that have evolved to survive in dry conditions.
These unique cacti and other leafy varieties can easily be found online or in garden stores this spring season, but the monthly subscription service ensures you’ll always have a fresh batch!
There are several varieties to choose from for the monthly plant club. Leaf & Clay also have many types of succulents that can be bought individually, and even pots!
Herb Window Garden Kit
Gardeners can grow their own fresh herbs to cook with, without the hassle of a full-fledged garden or patio set up. This kit from Planter’s Choice helps gardeners who love cooking get a taste of what it’s like to have their very own herb window garden. The box comes complete with everything they need—pots and soil included!
Grow up to 9 different herbs to enjoy in your urban garden and to use with meals. Pots, seed packets, soil discs, markers, and more will make this a great project to start during the winter and throughout the year.
Garden Tower Project
The Garden Tower Project is a wonderful choice gift for the plant grower who doesn’t have much space, but still enjoys gardening. This garden gift is a six-tiered garden that sits on a pot with wheels, making it versatile. There are also accessories to choose from with the Tower Garden which includes an extension kit and fabric pot that can be bought separately.
There are also plenty of other gardening gifts and goodies to choose from on their website!
