Glass Terrarium Make Great Gardening Gifts For Indoor Gardening

Most gardeners love to grow anything, anywhere.  So it’s natural to turn to indoor gardening as summer ends and winter quickly approaches.  A glass terrarium is a beautiful addition to home decor and they’re great gardening gifts for indoor gardening.

Glass or transparent plant containers can be traced back to at least 2500 years ago in Greece.  However, in the United States, it’s believed that New Englanders grew squawberries (partridge berry) in hand-blown glass bowls.

But the actual inventor of the terrarium is thought to be Dr. N.B. Ward of London, England.  While studying a sphinx moth in a closed bottle over time,…

A Garden Green House Gift Doesn’t Have To Be One Size Fits All

Many people think of a garden green house as a stand alone, room size structure sitting in a perfectly manicured lawn with perfect windowboxes and a cobblestone pathway leading to the entrance.  Yes, those elaborate green house kits are available but that’s not the only option available to gardeners who want to expand their gardens inside when the weather turns frightful outside.  In fact, a great gardening gift for the hobby grower is a smaller, portable green house.

A garden green house, also known as a hobby green house, doesn’t include those large enough to grow vegetables and flowers for a commercial business.  But they are available…

How ‘Bout A Bonsai For Boss Day Gift?

So, has your group even started talking yet about Boss’s Day on October 16?   What about your Boss Day gift?  Of course, there’s always the group lunch (better if the company pays the bill!) but how about something unique this year. Bonsai trees are great eco friendlly gifts that don’t require a huge amount of attention or gardening expertise but sure brighten up indoor spaces.

Growing bonsai trees is a very popular hobby and they make great conversation pieces and decor for home or an office.  But how do you decide if an indoor bonsai tree is right for your Boss Day gift?

If your boss enjoys gardening,…

Grow Lights Shed New Light On Indoor Gardening

Healthy houseplants need good light.  Since technological advances in artificial lighting have made it much easier to start seeds, grow vegetables, or maintain strong houseplants, year round indoor gardening can be enjoyed from the comforts of home!  Grow lights and indoor growing systems make wonderful gardening gifts for home gardeners on any occasion!

With an indoor light garden, consider the natural environment and lighting requirements for the plant(s) you wish to grow - including those brought inside for the winter.   Some will need as much light as possible if they prefer full sunshine outside.  Other plants prefer partial shade so the indoor lighting doesn’t need to be as strong.  And regardless of their preferences,…

Top Ten Fall Garden Gifts

Ready or not, fall is here!

There are plenty of wonderful choices for fall garden gifts no matter what the occasion or your budget. As usual, I promise unique and functional gift ideas for the gardeners on your list. After much searching and deliberation, here are my picks for the Top Ten Fall Garden Gifts.

1. If you’re thinking about a live plant, consider a rose. This time of the year, you’re better off selecting a container grown plant instead of bare root because they already have a head start. (Check out my Five Tips For Planting Roses In The Fall article.)…

American Flag Display OK In Your Lawn Or Garden?

Absolutely!  More and more people are choosing to include an American flag display in their lawn and garden decor as demonstration of their love and devotion to our country.  And what a unique gift idea!

An element of pride is involved for those who display an American flag as well as some responsibility in following proper flag etiquette.  Honestly, I’ve always heard some basic rules about displaying a flag like it’s supposed to be lit at night and an American flag is never supposed to touch the ground.  But since I wasn’t sure about the specific guidelines, I decided to do a little research…

Need to Get Away? Get A Hammock.

After a long day or a long week, it’s so relaxing to take a leisurely nap in my hammock.  It’s like my own stay-cation (especially after the lawn is mowed, the leaves are raked, the flowers are deadheaded …)!  In fact, I think I actually enjoy my hammock more in the fall than either spring or summer.   Fewer bugs, lower humidity, and cooler temperatures – I’ve even been known to snuggle under a blanket while enjoying a full moon or a beautiful starry night from the comfort of my hammock!

If you don’t already have one you should really consider investing in your…
