Gardening is a passion that keeps burning for life, even if by gardening your best friend understands caring for a few potted flowers on their balcony or cultivating large flower beds and vegetable rows on their suburban properties. Once one realizes he has a green thumb he will always find something to do with the plants he loves so much. If you want to keep your gardening friend’s passion burning, you can think about some cool things to gift instead of the same old items everybody receives for birthdays and holidays. Together we will look at some of the best gifts for gardeners, even if they are just beginners or true experts in everything green.

Fire bowls, fireplaces and fire pits are common accessories in gardens and landscapes. While this tabletop fire bowl with lava fire glass is not an item your gardener friend will use while working but while relaxing after a hard day’s work, it is one of the most unusual best gifts for gardeners because fire glass is just making its entrance into the landscape accessories’ market. Fire glass is relatively new, and garden fire pits using this type of “fuel” need careful handling.

However, for all it is worth, this tabletop umbrella-hole fire bowl with lava fire glass is a perfect way to introduce your gardener friend to an amazing way of adding warmth and color to their patio, porch, and back yard and so on. The best thing about it is that this fire bowl easily fits into the pre-existing umbrella hole in your outdoor dining room area. Your friend can light it with a match, adjust the flame and enjoy hours of cozy ambiance.

8. UrbnEarth UrbMat Outdoor Garden

The mat also comes together with seed bombs for a dozen companion-planted herbs, vegetables, and flowers. The design is both fun and intuitive.

The mat contains color-coded, pre-spaced planting holes and suggestions of planting pest-repellent companion plants like marigolds and catnip. Gardening will never get easier than this: your friend will just have to roll the mat on a 6-inch outdoor bed, connect the mat to the hose for irrigation, put in the seed bombs and become a gardener! The mat may not be actually suitable for veteran gardeners, but it works well for beginners, kids, and teenagers, or friends with insufficient gardening spaces.

9. Seed Money

This is that type of gift to surprise a gardener who thinks he saw all the possible best gifts for gardeners. It is a specialty, cool, and whimsical gift. The gift seed coin bag contains handmade paper coins embedded with seeds.

The 30 coins in the bag are indeed very special: the pennies burst into wildflowers, the nickels grow into a variety of herbs, and the dimes will surprise the gardener with root crops, while the quarters hide delicious salad green seeds.
