Y ou may have already discovered this reality: when it comes to garden- ing gifts, passionate gardeners are very particular, so here are some suggestions that you might find helpful. There are so many great gardening books available today. It is well worth a browse in the gardening section of your favourite book store. Gardeners love quality books with great information and lots of coloured photographs. The Sunset Western Garden Book is probably one of the most useful. You might also consider a gift subscription to one of our excellent local gardening magazines, like Gardens West or Gardenwise. At the high end of gardening gifts, a greenhouse is a present to be enjoyed for many years. My advice is to buy the best quality which usually means aluminium and glass construction. Greenhouses are a great way to extend the growing season and a useful place for winter storage of less hardy plants and bulbs. The latest trend in Europe is a conservatory added to the home. It’s a wonderful way to bring the outside inside and makes an awesome li ving space. A less expensi ve alternati ve is a windowsill greenhouse, which, by the way, makes a per- fect spot to grow almost anything. If your gardener has a greenhouse, ac- cessories such as heating pads and cables, quality watering accessories, like the world famous English Hawes watering cans, and maximum-minimum thermometers are al- ways appreciated. Attracting wildlife to gardens has also be- come quite a trend these days. Birdbaths and birdbath heaters, feeders and bird houses are great gifts for children and shut-ins. Birding is the number two leisure activity in North America, and birding accessories are a nice present for those who enjoy this hobby. During winter cold spells, the birds would appreciate some help. There are a whole host of gardening gift ideas like quality tools, gardeners’ soap, richly toned wind chimes and gardening vid- eos. There are also ergonomically designed tools for easy of use. For those gardeners who are finding it a little more difficult to kneel down and get back up, handy kneel- ers, which double as a seat, are awesome. Complete gardening ‘wardrobes’ are avail- able from gardening hats, gloves, aprons and footwear to knee pads and garden tool belts. A gift certificate to a favourite gardening store is also a valued treasure. Water in the garden is very popular these days, and everything from pre-formed ponds to pumps, fountains, filters, waterfalls and LED underwater lights are huge hits as gifts. A ‘vanishing water’ feature, with water bub- bling up through pre-drilled basalt stones, is the next big thing. A pump and kit that houses this beautiful patio feature makes a wonderful gift to be enjoyed for years. Today, many people are interested in grow- ing vegetables and herbs indoors, and the best system is probably the fully automated Aero Garden. It’s easy and very producti ve. Indoor and outdoor echeveria and suc- culent gardens and wreaths are another hot trend. They are fabulous, very unique, colourful and easy to care for. Research has revealed that of all the gifts people recei ve, flowers make folks the hap- piest. Long-lasting and perfumed Christmas bouquets with seasonal fragrant greens are a real treat anytime over the Christmas season. Gardeners love plants best of all and there are some wonderful new hardy plants they can enjoy in the late fall and winter. ‘Bloomerang’ lilacs that bloom twice, winter blooming cherries, jasmine, viburnums and camellias are fabulous. Peeling bark maples, coral bark maples and contorted filberts and willows are a joy in winter. ‘Pink Lemonade’ blueberries, the new haskap berries and dwarf sour cherries are the ‘hottie’ foods for 2011. By stepping out of the box a wee bit, there are some wonderful European garden tours out there, and Donna Dawson, at icangarden. com provides some of the very best. Garden makeovers are all the rage today, and a gift certificate from a quality garden designer is also a wonderful gift. Tickets to the Northwest Flower and Garden Show in Seattle this coming February would be a treasured gift (tickets can be purchased online). Tickets or season passes to some of our wonderful Lower Mainland or Vancouver Island gardens would also be a splendid idea. Most gardeners appreciate something unique and different. Quality and usefulness are perhaps the two most important criteria to keep in mind. I hope this helps. Got a gardener on your Christmas l ist ?
