What do you get the experienced horticulturist in your life who loves their tried-and-true garden shears and uses a fertilizer blend they’ve perfected after years of experimentation? What about the aspirational apartment-dwelling gardener who is just starting to cultivate their green thumb and has very few tools of the trade?
It’s a big world out there, the retail scene for plant lovers, which offers gifts that cater to every level of expertise. For the novice seeder, consider high-quality essentials like good shears or a sturdy pair of gardening gloves. For the seasoned plant whisperer, something more basic (say, a repotting mat) is always appreciated—or, on the other end of the spectrum, something off-the-wall that is not strictly necessary (hello, moon-phase gardening set).
We’ve gone to the internet in a feverish craze to find the best gardening gifts out there. Without further ado, we present 20 of the most stylish gardening gifts you can buy online, any of which will leave your anthophile friend sure to say “ILYSM.”
