I am a 60 year old woman who gardens a lot.
I want a yard cart. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Gorilla-Carts-7-cu-ft-Poly-Yard-Cart/1000732134 I always need new gardening gloves. I don't like the ones with fabric on them because pricky vines get stuck on the gloves. I like leather. https://www.lowes.com/pd/MECHANIX-WEAR-Women-s-Medium-Blue-Leather-Garden-Gloves/1000386833 I like to listen to audiobooks while I garden. Therefore I need something with pockets to hold my MP3 player or CD player and my yard clippers. https://www.lowes.com/pd/AWP-General-Construction-Leather-Tool-Apron/50194789 |

If she's anything like my gardening husband, she'll want more practical things, such as what PP outlined above. He wanted a specific type of chicken wire to protect his baby roses, a specific set of bamboo stakes for his veggies, various quality tools for hedge control, etc. Why don't you ask her? |

| NP. I garden a lot too and I would find zero use for that nice coffee table book. I like the ideas the poster just above gave! I'd also appreciate a gift card to the fancy garden center near my house. |

| I garden a lot and I like good tools. I would love a gift certificate to a place like Lee Valley Tools. |

Felco pruners.
A good practical book is The Well Tended Perennial Garden. |

| Thank you! Ok, my sister is a practical person and I think would most appreciate the Gorilla Cart. Great suggestions and I really appreciate them all. |

Keep the receipt because I am a practical person and I don’t want or need that. |

Ditto. Takes up a ton of space and can’t imagine how I’d use it. |

| It turns out she already has something similar to the Gorilla Cart. I'll get her a gift card to the gardening (and more) store mentioned upthread. |

| I got her a gift certificate from White Flower Farm...a recommendation from a luxury gardener I know. But thank you all for the suggestions! |
