Best Gardening Gifts for 2024

Updated April 25, 2024 by Sydney Bollinger

Plants have always been around, of course, but right now, they’re having an Instagram-fueled heyday. Over the past couple of years, people have transformed their homes into indoor/outdoor gardens : growing produce on their balconies and turning previously unused backyard space into small farms.

Many plant lovers and gardeners enjoy discovering new plants and trying out fresh growing methods. Part of the beauty of growing greenery is nurturing something over time, whether from a seedling or a starter plant, and as we move toward the spring season, we have even more reason to find the perfect gift for the gardener in our lives. (Filling life with greenery is known to have a major, positive impact on mental health , too!)

Maybe you celebrate the spring equinox or Easter, or maybe you’re just excited for a season of change. Whatever the reason, choosing gardening gifts does not have to be a headache-inducing trip to Lowe’s or Home Depot. Big box stores can be overwhelming, confusing, and—frankly—unhelpful for someone who doesn’t know the difference between the many types of Pothos out there or which variety of tomatoes are best for the local soil.

The solution? Gift a gardening subscription box, which will be a unique, curated experience for gardeners, growers, plant enthusiasts , and—yes—even people just starting out who are currently the opposite of a green thumb.

Customer Review

“I completely recommend this subscription box and the shop. The care that they use to package and ship the plants and pottery cannot be beat. I received a three month subscription from my daughter as a Mother’s Day gift. Each shipment also included a hand written personal note as well as a bonus small gift. I love this gift and this shop!” — Cynthia M.
