A Gardener's Gift Guide || My Favorite Garden Things

[@sarahwilson8883]

My husband and kids took over my garden shed and locked me out of it for a few weeks before Christmas one year. I thought they were hiding a gift in there. Turns out they were adding a potting bench and shelves, a heater because I hate to be cold but love to be out there. Grow lights, soil, and hooks to hang my tools. They took me out there on Christmas morning, they’d lit the heater so it was toasty warm, and I cried like a baby. SO THOUGHTFUL

[@helenreid7712]

So nice of them. I'd cry too

[@theheardhomestead]

I almost cried reading this ❤❤❤

[@barbarabartlett2804]

One of the ways my daddy gave me a Christmas gift was his favorite veggie in seed form like white radishes n khlorabi. But he also gave me 100 cherry tomato seeds cuz they were my fav. Always given in Christmas card. He did that from my first garden at 13 years old til the year before he died when I was 60. Such a great memory😊

[@ThePosyCo]

I love that idea! ❤️ Thank you for sharing.

[@thedirtprincess3293]

That is amazing. And so precious .

[@terryhenderson424]

We knew a lady down the road who always got a seed catalog (previous or current year 'cause you 'gotta open something), money or a gift card, and one seed package of something different (often from the current year and saved during the growing season).

[@doulacoach6801]

Awh! SO so so lovely & loving. Lucky you❣

I can't ask my husband for any gifts for any holiday for the next 5 years! As we were preparing Friday for our family Thanksgiving on Saturday, he suddenly had "errands" to run. First he picked up a prescription, then ran to the local hardware store. Then he called and said he needed to go to work for a little while (The plant is closed for the holiday, but he sometimes has things to do that's easier with no one else around, so I didn't question him) A little later he called again and said he had to run to the nearby city to pick up something for the plant. I got suspicious then, because he ALWAYS tells me exactly what he has to pick up, and this item was just "something". (I told our boarder that he was up to some nefarious deed, but thought he might be buying himself a new recliner) When he came home, he pulled a jacket out of the closet and handed it to me and said he needed to show me something in the truck. In the back of the truck was a Harvest Right Freeze Dryer! We need to get a cart for it, because I just don't have a permanent spot it can live yet, but that gift will certainly wear a gift bow for a very long time, lol! And yes, I've already had requests for candy!

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

What a sweet man!!!

[@dinkherring2213]

@@RootsandRefugeFarm I've had him for 49 years now, so I think I'll keep him, lol!

[@KitCat3-10]

My husband did something similar! He ordered our Freeze dryer a month and a half ago while they ran a sale and it was the BEST Christmas gift I could have asked for 😊❤

[@heathernotzdaniels6350]

Two years ago, my grown son sat down at the computer with me, and for two hours or longer, we sat down and went through a couple of websites, picking out seeds. That was the best time, he doesn't love the garden the way I do, but he is always up for a walk through it with me to try new things, he's complete game for taste testing the herbs, etc. In that time, he got a good glimpse of mom and her loves, and it gave me some of the best time with a man(my baby), that I could have asked for. I think kids can forget that we still want to spend time with them, and they get busy with life, like we all can and do. When I got them in the mail, I was overjoyed to set them out on the table and sent him pictures of my packages of delight, he loved it and so did I. Sometimes it isn't just about money spent, but more about the moments made.

[@Fernandvinepottery]

I LOVE the loaded Bible idea. Also add dried pressed flowers for another personal touch. At an estate sale I purchased a recipe book where the original owner had put in personal notes about the recipes or how they changed them up. It was so precious.

[@maryjaynejordan]

Another book I would encourage as a gift is Seed to Seed by Susanne Ashworth. Saving seeds is an essential part of gardening, not just for food security (remember when we couldn’t buy seeds) but also because the seed you save are acclimated to your microclimate. .

[@resaunders26]

Yup - that one is on my list!

The hair tinsel really suits Jess and I'm not just saying that because I went natural five years ago.

My husband got me one of those kangaroo gardening aprons a few years ago and it is really handy. It's so nice to be able pick produce and stick it in the pouch and then open it up onto the table to easily get out what you picked. It's just remembering to wear it outside when I go out to pick produce.

After church we went to Michael’s and I found the plastic photo holder. Unbeknownst to me, my husband ordered one last night to pick up today! I’m so excited to label and start putting my seed packs inside! Currently they are 70% off at Michael’s. Thank you thank you once again!

My Love gave me a beautiful new variety of hydrangea today on my birthday. Earlier in the weekend I pointed out the lacey flower heads that I wished for for a couple of decades now, and they are now available in a deep red pink! I wish everyone could see the adorably goofy way this 65 year old only real love of my life presented this gift to me.

[@scheralgreider5406]

I live in zone 6. l get so disappointed that stores take down their garden items. It doesn't matter if it is not an "active" gardening season, I love to shop 12 months of the year for garden items.

[@irony11]

Have you considered looking for a store that is mainly gardening? They don't close. I find these local places better than ANY chain store.

[@rooteddinfaith]

they do that here in my area too in Florida and we are year round gardeners..they actually throw away seeds after june or so

[@carolhamilton5164]

I went to dollar tree a couple months ago and grabbed some seeds went to check out and they were only charging a couple cents. I thought it was a mistake and didn’t want to cheat them, so I questioned it. They took my seeds away and would not let me buy them. I was so disappointed as I wanted those seeds.

[@jujube2407]

​@@carolhamilton5164end of seas9n they are usually 10 for 1.00 vs 4 for a dollar...

​@irony11 yes! I'm in Canada and the local greenhouse shops have fabulous gifts year round.

[@juliepoolie5494]

I think a startup worm bin would be a fun gift. It’s a bus bin with shredded cardboard , a few handfuls of your worms and some casting, likes to videos to watch fb group names… and some of your time to help set it up and give direction.

[@PrairieDawnC]

Yes! A worm bin has been on my wish list for two years now, but I suspect my family doesn't want worms in the house.

[@kathychapman5942]

I also think it would be fun to just give your family and friends a little homemade coupon that says this is redeemable for me to come help you make your garden bed or plant your garden. Whatever it takes to help you grow your own food.❤

[@bekinddogoodeatplants]

Your book: I wish I'd have found this book when I began gardening. It would have saved me from going down many rabbit holes. I don't recall where, but I came across it, checked it out at the library, loved it and bought it - it truly is a wonderful resource :)

[@e.c.5994]

I love my Duluth coveralls! I have 5 pairs of the shortalls that I wear in rotation through the summer (I got 'em on clearance); they've practically become my uniform. I have the navy daisy ones, and every time I wear them in public I get compliments, to which I reply with giddy glee - "AND they have 12 pockets!" I use almost all of those pockets at some point during the gardening season; the hammer loop is great for carrying a fistful of landscape staples, the back pockets are where my gloves go, I carry a pencil and Sharpie with me to label things, and the zippered pocket is where I put my cell phone. Also my pocketknife, plant ties, a pair of clippers . . . Add to that, they're super comfy and durable. I've worn the first pairs I got for nearly three years now, and they're just starting to look worn. I hope Duluth always carries them, but just in case, when my favorite colors go on clearance I buy a couple pairs to squirrel away for later. This Christmas, I'm getting some of my nieces and nephews a few packets of seeds, as Grandpa prepared a flower bed for them this fall. We spent some time Friday poring over Baker Creek's catalogue together, so I could have some idea of what they'd want to grow.

[@DeeMc54]

Are the coveralls pretty true to size?

[@e.c.5994]

@@DeeMc54 They tend to run roomy, but that's by design. You need a little give if you're going to be squatting, standing, lifting, bending, sitting, etc. The stretchy straps are adjustable, so if you go with your usual size you can always cinch them up.

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

@@DeeMc54I’d say they run roomy. I’m a size 8/10 and I have mediums and larges. I tend to prefer the larges because I like baggy clothes but the mediums also fit with room.

[@loiscorman9810]

Enthusiastic thumbs up for these overalls! I always used to wear old jeans and t-shirts to garden in-the ones that were too far gone to wear outside the house. In 2020, I gained enough weight that that wasn’t an option 😊, so I ordered from the Duluth catalog. The dirt doesn’t stick to the knees as much as jeans. I have one pair of long pants and one short-both look about the same as when they were purchased. It felt like an indulgent purchase but turned out really well.

[@barbaramix1683]

I value the time you spend teaching us about gardening so much. I have learned much of what I know from you. I found your channel the first year I tried to grow a garden.

A place I worked at a few years ago gave me some heirloom seeds from the town I am from in London and some tools to grow them with. I worked in the construction industry and they had no clue about gardening. It couldn’t have cost more than £20 but it was one of the most thoughtful gifts I have ever received

[@KitCat3-10]

Slowly over the last month my husband has been feeding my longing for, from scratch cooking. First he ordered me a freeze dryer and I was completely over the moon!! I counted it as an early Christmas gift and anniversary lol. He went Gift shopping 2 weeks ago for our 2 little girls christmas and asked for help bringing things in but warned me he had a christmas gift for me too (but he didnt want to wrap it so it was early😅). He got me a Kitchen Aid mixer with a pasta maker attachment and a new food processor. I almost cried. 😂 We live in a double wide in a trailer park and I always said "when we get the house, I'll learn the skills to can and preserve and garden." Watching you in the last year inspired me to make my waiting room a classroom. So thank you! ❤❤

[@spontaneousun]

If someone in your life gardens and has sensitive skin I LOVE my elbow length garden gloves from Foxgloves (Elle grip gloves model). I get itchy when I work a bunch with tomatoes and any squash, but these solve that issue beautifully! They’re unusual because I have small hands and fingers (wear a size 4.5 ring) and they actually have small enough sizes that I don’t have a bunch of extra fabric bunching up and getting in my way on my fingers! They wash up really well and I’ve had my current pair for 2.5 years and they’re still going strong. I think the cobra head mini and my hori hori knife are the best tools to use in my greenstalk (and honestly my most used garden tools overall). If you’re in an area with more restricted access or limited light, it’s really nice to get the spinner bases with wheels for the greenstalks. I also love my Duluth coveralls and honestly their button down shirts with the bust proof buttons and back gussets (flannel and lightweight summer options) are a staple for me. For any gluten free gardeners or just folks that are interested in a new flavor profile, I really enjoy all cookbooks by Aran Goyoaga. She has such a love for produce, whole grains and basque inspired cooking. Her first cookbook was divided up by seasons, and her two more recent publications (one general and one baking focused) are both celebrations of food. For more advanced cooks who like to play with variations in the kitchen I really enjoy Ruffage: A Practical Guide to Vegetables. Great picks Jess!

[@JeanneKinland]

The Baker Creek "Whole seed catalog" I just purchased at Tractor Supply store for $15. Great resource for all the information about a variety of seeds. Plus it has recipes and ideas on how to use the produce.

[@bulletbeau9300]

One of my first years with birds my husband gave me a hose splitter. It was one of the best gifts ever and made things so much easier

[@cjsasek8972]

When my MIL started a garden at her new home a fun gift was a gathering basket with smaller items inside -- such as.Farmers Almanac book and calendar, pretty garden gloves, a kneeling pad, a few small hand tools and lavender hand lotion. If I did it again today I'd add a bullet journal (Hobby Lobby has a reasonably priced selection.) -- Use your imagination! 😁

[@sharoncardenas5447]

Shepherd Hooks...for wind chimes, bird feeders, hanging baskets,etc...❤😅

[@WelcometomyCapeCodlife]

When it comes to cookbooks I have 2 suggestions, both by Alice Waters one is called Fruits and the other is Vegetables. Alice is the one that inspired me to marry my foodie self to my gardener self. Her restaurant Chez Panisse is world renowned. She is a pioneer in the clean organic eating and featuring heirloom varieties! I love her, and her cookbooks are wonderful , leaning strongly on Mediterranean influences and some Asian cuisine. Highly recommended!

[@envisionfarm1923]

Two of my favorite cookbooks to complement the garden are A Cabin Full of Food, by Marie Beausoleil, and The Victory Garden Cookbook, by Marian Morash. Both are organized alphabetically by vegetable, so if you're like me and unintentionally grow too many of a vegetable you have no idea how to use, they offer a lot of recipes that strongly feature or utilize said vegetable. So helpful!

I saw something on Facebook that said the best gift for plant people is not more plants, but pots and I agree 100%. I would love to get medium and large-sized pots. I love the Birdie's Beds (I'm also an Epic Gardening affiliate, lol). I'm waiting to see how they hold together over the Midwestern winter. A garden book that I really like is The Layered Edible Garden by Christina Chung. She really leans into permaculture and encourages you to think long term when it comes to growing food.

I just had to say that i feel the pull to that Magenta Greenstalk. 😂 I received the email from them and immediately said yes please then no ma'am you have 4....the answer is no ma'am. 😆 They are a great company and if you have a question you can send them a message and they respond quickly and so kindly! I second the giftcards for seeds. One that wasn't mentioned, or I missed it, are harvest baskets. I have one from Hoss tools that you wear so your hands are free and it is very ergonomic and holds quite a lot! Hobby Lobby is a good place to find those photo boxes. I found somearked down on clearance there last year and even got a similar style that is all one container meant for scrapbook size paper that I use for bulk seed bags. Another gift would be if you are a gardener/home cook that is gifting to the younger generation is to fill out a recipe book or box woth yiur favorite recipes and pass down your knowledge.

At 12:03 If you’re in Australia you can get something very similar to the photo box for seeds at Kmart

Jess I am loving that grey streak in your hair! And I'm listening so I can see what I need to buy myself😂😂

I have the photo boxes. Two of them. They are an awesome way of organizing seeds. I love them!

I found your channel before you moved and I fell in love with your garden. I lived in Oregon at the time and had a big in ground garden and learned so much from you. I moved about two years ago back to AZ so have found a great channel who grows in this crazy zone 9B but I’ve recently returned to your channel too. You are still so inspiring and I love your gift ideas. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge.
