[quote=Anonymous]I would be careful buying plants unless you know what your dad likes -- mine was really into natives so if we got him a non-native he wouldn't have wanted to plant it. So you might want to consider his gardening philosophy/values/interests. Does he have a water garden? You could set him up with a small water garden, which is something I'd love. Also, if he already has a compost bin would he like a vermiculture? Again, I'd love one but realize they're not for everyone. Does he start seeds indoors? He might appreciate an indoor grow light if he doesn't already have one. You can even DIY something for him pretty inexpensively. Also, you said he grows grape vines. Does he like beer? I have a friend who grows hops and then uses them when he brews beer. Perhaps your dad would enjoy that process? Also, if you go to any of the nice nurseries you will likely find a helpful person who has some good suggestions. Behnkes, Merrifield, etc. Good luck![/quote]
