July 2nd, 2011 · No Comments · Uncategorized

If the weather suddenly smells like spring sunshine, gardening chores are on. Chances are, your friends are doing the same thing. Working on making a lawn garden look great is a hobby of most people. Here are some ideas for garden gifts if someone you know is in love with gardening.

Garden Gift Suggestions

A garden is a place where one can relax, so good seating is important Small chess player chairs are great for a garden setup.

A hammock made of lightweight material is a perfect garden gift. If your friend already has a hammock, you can give him hammock pillows instead. A hammock is also great for reading books under the shade of a big tree.

Gardening tools will last long. Make sure you check with your friend so that you don't inadvertently buy the same tools. High end gardening tools you can send as gifts include automatic lawn mowers and landscaping accessories. If you know a shop that sells beautiful terra cotta pots, you can buy a few for yourself and your friends.

A lot of gardens are extensions of patios or decks, so you can be safe with giving your friend patio furniture. Nature-inspired designs are all the rage right now, such as bamboo wind chimes and bird feeders. Fragrant herbs in a box or a small pot are ideal for decks. Plants that give off a pleasant scent is ideal if your location is balmy and humid. A pair of love birds will also look great on the patio overlooking the garden.

If your friend loves entertaining, a barbecue set is also an ideal garden gift. Throw in a grill and you can have an instant barbecue party with your friend and his family when you go visit. Garden umbrellas make for instant picnic spots. If the garden has a nice landscape, it’s a good idea to choose a furniture theme that blends well with the garden, e.g. Japanese style.

Weather-hardy materials are recommended for outdoor seating. A garden set is more exposed to the elements than indoor furniture so it’s better to choose materials that can survive rains and heat. You also don’t want materials that could fade in color anytime. For instance, go for browns, terra cotta and gray.
