Gift ideas for the green thumb in your life
Everyone around me loves to garden. Me: I couldn't keep the most hardy plant alive if I tried. So my attempt to contribute to the gardening chats that happen around me is to buy my green-thumbed friends gardening gifts – and what I've learned is that there are plenty of unique ideas if you know where to look.
From cute self-watering globes to a picnic rug to sit on as they admire their hard work or macramé pot hangers, no matter their garden, big or small, indoors or out, treat them to these super specific gifts.
