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!

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.

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.

Felco pruners.

A good practical book is The Well Tended Perennial Garden.

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

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.

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?

I am a 60 year old woman who gardens a lot.

I want a yard cart.

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.

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.

My sister is turning 60. She gardens (fairly rural where she lives, with s big yard). Any truly awesome gardening items or books? Thank you!
