When the weather heats up, you know it's time for gardening. There's a good chance your friends are doing a little garden maintenance themselves. A garden is a hobby that most people indulge in. Here are some ideas for garden gifts if someone you know is in love with gardening.
Gift Suggestions for a Garden
A garden is a place where one can relax, so good seating is important Bean bags are out and wicker or rattan is in.
A hammock! Hammocks can be hung from trees and covered with blankets and pillows. A hammock can be the best place in the world to read a favorite novel.
Gardening tools are great for beginner gardeners because they can be used for a long time. Before you think of buying your friend a few tools, ask if he already has the basic ones so you don't give him a duplicate of what he has. You can give anything from pricey lawn mowers to small landscaping accessories. If you know a shop that sells beautiful terra cotta pots, you can buy a few for yourself and your friends.
Some of the best garden gifts can be used on the deck or patio. Choose furniture and accessories that will help connect man with nature, such as wind chimes, potpourri boxes, bird feeders and bird baths. 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 parrot inside a beautiful cage also looks right at home on the deck facing the garden.
A barbecue set is one of the things that will complete a beautiful garden setting. A grill will also tempt your friend to invite you over as often as he can. Garden umbrellas can turn a garden into a cafe in seconds. 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.
There are different types of garden furniture to choose from, but it's best to stick with weather-hardy furniture. 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. If you have to choose between colored and earth colors, choose earth colors.
