Gift Ideas for the Desert Gardener

You might not want to wait until the last minute to start thinking about giffs.

If you're a gardener, or know a gardener, and are wondering what to get that person for the holidays, try reading Garden Gifts.

The article covers a whole list of possibilities, including a list of books, tools, containers, shears, gloves, hats, and other items that the gardener would live to receive as a gift.

Whether it's for a birthday, holiday gift, or just a "want to see a smile" gift, you can get some creative ideas.

And it's not too early to start thinking about gifts. My wife gave me a potting bench two holiday seasons ago, and ordered it in October. It came in the second week in December. (I pretended not to notice). It seems there was a shipping mix-up.

Also, unless you buy mail order, it's very difficult to find quality gardening gifts in the winter.
