Is your mom most commonly found digging beds, mowing the lawn and talking to plants? If so, your mom will be thrilled to receive a gardening-related gift this Mother's Day — or for any other special occasion.
It can be tough to find something your mom needs and doesn't already have. Thankfully, there are plenty of unusual and thoughtful options once you know where to look.
Gardening is broad. Not every gardening-related gift will suit every gardener. Think about what areas of gardening interest your mother, such as growing vegetables versus flowers, in to help find the perfect gift.
It can be hard to know what to buy for someone if you don't already know what they have. It's safe to assume any avid gardener already has the basics, such as gardening tools, watering cans and so on. An upgrade could be in order, though. If your mom's gardening gloves have seen better days, consider buying an upgraded version.
If you're stuck, you can find inspiration from some of the most popular types of gifts for gardeners. Most fall into one of these three broad categories: practical gifts, fun gifts and aesthetic gifts.
This gorgeous basket is handmade in the USA and is ideal for moms who are into growing their own vegetables. Since the body is wire, it's easy to hose down produce before bringing it inside to minimize mess.
