The Best Garden Presents for 2024

This gift will be even more special if you give it to them on their birthday. The grow kit includes seeds from their birth month flower, plus a glass bottle with a cork lid to plant them in (that can be re-used as a vase later on).

If their garden is full of lush shrubs and bushes, gift this easy way to spice up their decor. These vibrant blue clay koi fish look as though they’re swimming through the leaves, and will be a beloved accent piece.

“My best friend is the kind of person to stop frequently on a walk to identify wildflowers and mushrooms, down to the scientific name,” Associate Shopping Editor Janae McKenzie says. “I gifted her the New York Botanical Garden mushroom flashcards and loved the joy it brought her.” Gift a way to identify their favorite flowers (and inspiration for future gardening).

For the friend who loves using fresh herbs from the garden in their cooking, cut down on their prep time with this handy kit. It comes with a herb stripper, kale stripper and mincer, so they’ll have perfectly proportioned garnishes.

You could give them any old tote bag, but if they also have a knack for sewing, they’ll love this DIY approach. The cotton and faux suede bag comes with vibrant yarn in the colors of the different vegetables on the bag, so they can stitch it together. Plus, there’s three pockets on the back for their harvest.

All those hours spent toiling in the garden can be pretty hard on their hands. Give them some R&R with this lemon verbena healing salve. The beeswax, cocoa butter and olive oil will hydrate and nourish any cracked, dry skin.
