5 Gardening Kit Gifts HGTV’s Kelly Smith Trimble Recommends

If you know a gardener in need of a thoughtful gift, give them the power to choose their own gardening supplies with a Burpee e-gift card. They can use the e-card to buy seeds, plants and tools from a catalog that includes dozens of options. Or, pick a gift bundle that gives them everything they need to start growing vegetables and flowers from seed including a garden trowel, gardening gloves, scissors, a plant tie, plant markers and two at-home soil testing kits. The bundle comes in a functional garden tote that they’ll be happy to use again and again.

Even the most seasoned gardener can benefit from a pair of high-quality gardening gloves. HGTV senior editor Kelly Smith Trimble recommends this pair made by the women’s workwear brand Dovetail, which is crafted of supple vegan leather and offers a secure fit. They’re easy to wash and will keep her hands cozy, warm and dry while working outside.

Kids love getting involved in the garden, and a cute set of kids’ tools will make their experience much more enjoyable. HGTV’s Smith Trimble is a fan of the CHEERBANK kids watering can, which is available in multiple colors and can be personalized with any name. It’s lightweight and not too large for small hands, making it a good choice for toddlers up to older kids who like helping out in the yard.

A quality hose is a must-have for any gardener, especially one that doesn’t get annoyingly kinky or hard to maneuver after prolonged use. This option from Green and Blue in Cornwall is a great pick that’s also designed to support the bee population. Its innovative concrete block can be left freestanding, or it can be built into a wall for a seamless look in the garden.

Having a well-stocked tool shed is the hallmark of any serious gardener. This versatile birch basket from the garden supply shop Uncommon Goods has a long curved handle and can be engraved with up to 10 characters to make it truly stand out. It’s a great place to store produce from the garden or keep a small collection of garden-inspired decor pieces such as tea towels, notecards and mugs.

Even the most dedicated gardener will run out of space for storing all their equipment, so a new toolbox or pail is always welcome. This one from The Gardener’s Supply Company has a vintage-inspired design and sturdy construction that’s sure to be a hit. It’s available in four different sizes and can be engraved with a monogram or a message of your choosing.

If your gardener is battling mosquitoes in the summer, they’ll appreciate this DEET-free lantern that uses UV light to attract and kill mosquitoes without using pesticides or chemicals. It’s been a hit with Amazon reviewers who have recommended it to friends and family.
