Best Christmas Gifts For Mom Who Loves Gardening
If your mom loves to garden, you have a lot of great garden-themed gift options for Christmas. You can get her things that she can use in the garden to enhance her green thumb, or gifts that will help keep her garden produce fresh, as well as thoughtful gifts that will help her recover and relax at the end of a great day of gardening.
Gift Categories
We have broken down our list into three categories with 10 items in each:
In The Garden – garden tools and things she can use in the garden.
For the Harvest – gift ideas that she will love to have when she is gathering the fruits of her labor from the garden.
Post Gardening Recovery – all kinds of gift ideas to help soothe aching muscles so they can venture back out into the garden the next morning.
A gift from any one of these categories will make your mom so happy on Christmas morning! A gift from two of these categories will be an amazing gift pack, and from all three – that is the ultimate gift to make her feel extra special!
We have links for each product included here for convenience, but if you want to look through all the best gardening gifts, head on over to our garden storefront.
Best Christmas Gifts For Mom Who Loves Gardening – In The Garden
This section of Christmas gift ideas are tools and items that she will use in the garden.
Grandpas Weeder
Gardening is hard on the back, regardless of the age of the gardener! Any gift that allows you to work in the garden while saving your back is a perfect gardening gift!
That was the whole concept behind this brilliant tool called Grandpas Weeder. Pull up weeds without having to constantly bend down to uproot them. (Although we definitely don’t think dandelions are weeds, as the picture indicates!) After using this tool all season, we consider this an ESSENTIAL TOOL for a garden shed!
Your favorite gardener can get rid of unwanted weeds or stray plants easily and with no back strain. We are 1000000% team No Pesticides so this weeder is a 10/10 gift idea for any gardener!
Gardening Bench
We are not talking about a nice garden stone bench to sit upon and ponder life’s questions. This is a work bench! The best part is its dual functionality.
A good bench like this is a must have product for any gardener. It is used for so many things – you can use it as a seat as you are tinkering in the garden, or if you need to take a break from your marathon planting sessions in the spring.
You can flip it over and use it as a kneeling pad while you are planting, plus it has support to help you get up. It comes in different colors if you prefer, we have more listed in our storefront.
The bags you can attach are a nice added feature, for things that you want to remove from the garden, or are harvesting to keep. Its handy to have a spot to put them.
We use this almost daily during gardening season, and have been through a few of them. We buy new ones immediately upon signs that the old one is past its prime. Truly a must have product and practical gift that makes a perfect present!
Leather Gardening Gloves
Your gardening mama likely has some gardening gloves here and there – you can’t have too many, really, because they tend to get stashed in lots of different places – but good quality leather gloves are a very smart investment! This is why new gardening gloves are a great gift idea.
Dealing with branches, stickers, & thorns is not fun. These gloves allow the gardener to work without it being painful. She can avoid knicks, scratches cuts and punctures by wearing these gloves, not to mention it will save her nails or latest manicure!
We highly recommend every gardener have at least one good pair of leather gardening gloves. They last a long time and come in different sizes so you can have the perfect fit.
We have more gloves, both leather and other materials/fabrics, listed on our storefront if you want to shop for more.
Garden Clogs
In all our years of gardening, the one thing we have never bought for ourselves but constantly think would be a great thing to have – garden clogs! This is why we know it would be a great Christmas gift for your avid gardener.
This slip on style will allow your gardening mom to just slide her feet in hands free, but they will stay on. That is truly the perfect way and a perfect design for gardening shoes.
The practicality is unmatched! They can get muddy but wash off easily with the garden hose. Your garden-loving mum won’t hesitate to put these on when she is cruising around the yard barefoot, so they will keep her feet clean if she wants to venture into the garden. She will also put these on rather than wander into the garden in her favorite pair of summer flip flops and get them all dirty.
Truly one of the great Christmas gift ideas that she may not buy for herself! Plenty of designs or plain ones to choose from.
Seed or Bulb Dibber
The best gifts are the ones she doesn’t even know exist, or doesn’t even know she needs. This is one of those gifts!
Planting bulbs pays off so much when you see the gorgeous flowers they produce, like the beautiful tulips you see in the picture. But planting bulbs can be such a huge pain! Literally and figuratively – years of experience has taught how much of a back killer with how much digging it requires. It is a very painstaking process.
This little product can make it so much easier! You can ohhh and ahhh with your favorite mom over all the beautiful flowers she plants with it, as they pop up later in the season in her stunning flower beds and for years to come.
Flower Trellis
We have two trellis kits listed here, this one being labeled for flowers because it is often more decorative and with garden design elements in mind. Imagine gorgeous clematis twining up a beautiful wrought iron or wooden trellis. Beautiful!
There are lots of designs to choose from, so if you want to browse a larger selection, we have several included in our garden storefront.
Vegetable Trellis
This trellis is beautiful in the way a great design makes the vegetable garden more productive and easier to tend to.
Using a trellis for plants that like to climb – vine like in their growth – will benefit the plant and your mom. Plants like beans & cucumbers can be planted at the base of the structure, and the growth can be trained up on the trellis. It keeps the produce off the ground and makes it easier to tend to and harvest.
Elevating these types of veggies also makes more room in the garden to plant other things. If you have a vine like grower and don’t give it something to climb, they will run all over your garden!
More options can be found in our storefront.
Sprinkler
One of the chores of the garden is keeping it well watered during the heat of the summer. A sprinkler preference is a real thing because you don’t want to beat up your plants but you want a good soaking.
This sprinkler is easy to place and fit in the garden. She can sit back and relax on the patio in the shade and enjoy the beautiful view of her garden being watered once she sets this up.
Garden Lights
Ambiance lighting can really make flower garden beds look magical, and are a great gift for Mom’s garden because it is one she wouldn’t necessarily think to buy for herself. Having soft lighting illuminate a dark spot in the garden, or to showcase white flowers at night is such a wonderful garden aesthetic that we know she will love.
Garden Statues
Generally speaking, people are in one of two categories when it comes to garden statutes. The less is more camp, or the more is more camp. Either way, finding the perfect garden statue is a great Christmas gift for a gardener. We have several in our storefront and wanted to feature one of our favorites here.
Best Christmas Gifts For Mom Who Loves Gardening – Harvesting Section
These next ten gift ideas are the items that your mom will love to have when all her hard work and the fruits of her labor are paying off and she is harvesting from her garden. These are both items she can use outside to make it easier as well as things she will love to have in the house.
Watering Cans
Watering cans are one of those essential gardening tools that you need both for outdoor and indoor gardening. We have gone through countless plastic watering cans and they are just not our favorite.
We would love to receive these beautiful yet practical gardening gifts. They look so nice tucked among perennial flowers while being so easy to grab and use when you want to do a little watering. They are also great for indoor gardening or for front porch flower pots.
Harvesting tools
We have three styles of harvesting tools, each for different purposes.
Thumb Knife
This is an absolutely brilliant gift idea for the serious gardener and casual gardener alike. How many times have you tried to pinch off a bit of herbs for cooking, or to deadhead some plants for more blooms, only to realize those plants don’t want to let go. You don’t want to rip off more than you want, and sometimes they just won’t give. This little tool is freaking genius!
Harvesting Shears
These are perfect when you are setting out to harvest from the garden. More than just a pinch here and there like you would with the thumb knife, this is when you know there is plenty of things ready to be brought in.
Harvesting Knife
Another variation to the sheers, this harvesting knife is a good option for those plants with thicker stalks.
Garden Cart
If you have ever grown zucchini, you know that they can produce more than you can carry at one time. Not to mention if you have acorn squash, or lots of beans, tomatoes and cucumbers to bring in. No way you can hold all that at once without a cart! This is a great way to move things around the garden.
This genius design makes us think of a rolling suitcase and it such a great idea for a garden cart. Grabbing things to put on the compost pile? This is perfect. Harvesting for the kitchen? Perfect! Bringing tools or materials to your different garden beds to fertilize or treat for pests. Easy peasy with this. It is one of those all around great gift ideas for any gardener. Your mom will love it!
Foraging or Tote Bag
This bag is actually designed to forage mushrooms, with its mesh material allowing for spores. We actually also think it is a smart garden idea and makes for a great choice to gather items if you are just doing a leisurely stroll through the garden. Have it hanging on a nearby hook to sling it over your shoulder as you stroll.
One of a gardeners favorite things to do at the end of a day is go have a look at the garden and see what is new or is ready to bring into the house. If you have the thumb knife (seen above) and this gardening tote, your gardener can wander around and pinch off that gorgeous tomato that is now ripe, or those beautiful bell peppers that are perfect for dinner.
Harvest baskets
Another option to a garden tote is a harvest basket, and there are several kinds to choose from. This first one is a great option because it is designed to allow you to wash off your garden goodies either outside with the hose or inside in the sink. Brilliant!
If you prefer to not use plastic, there are many other beautiful options. We have featured two more here, and have more listed in our storefront.
Mesh Basket
Wicker Basket
Produce Keeper
Once your garden plant babies grow up and start producing, you get to bring all these beauties in the house to enjoy! Lots of avid gardeners will make friends and neighbors a gardening gift basket full of all the fruits and vegetables that they can’t use, which is such a wonderfully thoughtful gift. But where to you put all the items you want to keep? One solution we recommend is this produce keeper.
One thing we can’t stand is when fruits or veggies go to waste. We gave this produce keeper a try this winter, and it has earned rave reviews from us. It keeps produce fresh WAY longer, is a space saver in the fridge, and is so convenient with the four little sections able to be removed.
As shown in the pictures, we have one full of grapes and we can just take out that whole little compartment and set it beside us to snack on the grapes, then pop it right back in the fridge. We definitely plan to use it with our garden produce this year.
So if your mom laments how fast food spoils, try this as a completely unique gift to keep her fresh fruits and veggies from the garden.
Vegetable Chopper
Another brilliant gadget we highly recommend is a chopper! One of the best things in the height of summer is being able to go to the garden and gather all the things you want to put in an incredible salad. Chop your bell pepper, cucumbers, zucchini, onions and anything else you grow in no time at all with this major time saver.
We will definitely be doing this with our garden produce this year, and it will go right into our produce saver for quick use.
Herb Scissors
We haven’t forgotten about the herb garden! In terms of garden aesthetics, having herbs in the garden is unmatched. They are great companion plantings, they don’t take much effort, and when you brush past them or take cuttings for dinner, they smell SO GOOD.
Much like the veggie chopper, herb scissors are the perfect time saver tool to strip the herbs to use in all your favorite dishes.
