The only challenge is figuring out what to buy - but it doesn't have to be hard. consarcpowercables has put together this guide so you can order great garden gifts for Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions. Discover fun, practical and unique garden gifts your family and friends will love and that are within your budget. (We won't tell anyone if you decide to get them for yourself.)
Garden Builder Kits
If you have a kid who's getting into gardening - or an adult friend who has never had the opportunity - a garden builder kit is one of the best garden gifts to get them started. Our Garden Builder ABC 1-inch Profile Kits are a modular way to design a small garden bed. They come with composite board walls and easy snap-lock brackets - just put them together and add soil and seeds. There are three versions of the kit, and recipients can combine kits to create tiered gardens, walk-in gardens or edging. We also have garden builder kits with a two-inch border profile if you want a thicker barrier for better impact resistance or insulation.
Small Planters
You don't need a lot of space to plant a garden. A small planter like the 2' x 2' Uptown Brown Raised Garden Bed can be placed anywhere someone has four square feet. It doesn't even need to be in the yard - they can put this garden bed on patios and balconies, next to stairs or along a fence line. It's available at four levels to grow plants of any root depth. Does your gardener have mobility issues? The Skyline Planter Elevated Garden Bed has legs for added height, making the soil easy to access.
Self-Watering Planters
Climbing plants don't need constant care when you have the right equipment. Our self-watering planters are gardening gifts that make it easy to grow tomatoes, beans, peas and flowers. They have built-in water storage that will irrigate the soil for 4-5 days and trellis nets that let the plants reach for the sky. Our Self-Watering Plant Tower can hold one large plant, while the Self-Watering Elevated Planter has room for multiple climbers plus some herbs in the bottom. With the caster wheel attachments, you can wheel the self-watering planter wherever there is sun - including an enclosed patio or sunroom for year-round growing.
Raised Garden Beds: Classic Designs
A raised garden bed has many benefits, including warmer soil, better drainage and keeping pests away. While there are plenty of decorative garden beds, a classic design is often best for someone new to raised gardening. Our 4' x 4' Raised Garden Beds, 4' x 8' Raised Garden Beds and 4' x 12' Raised Garden Beds are three simple ways to help someone discover this garden method. They're made using composite boards that resist water, sun and impacts with a limited lifetime warranty. Choose from multiple colors, heights and board widths to suit someone's planting needs.
Raised Garden Beds: Tool-Free
The best way to turn someone into a lifelong gardener is to make it easy and fun to get involved. One way to do that is with tool-free raised garden beds. They offer all the benefits of raised gardening while being ridiculously easy to assemble. Slide the snap-lock brackets onto the ends of the composite boards and add the included plugs - that's it! Our tool-free 2' x 4' Raised Garden Bed and 2' x 6' Raised Garden Bed are excellent starter systems for new gardeners. Since these kits are modular, someone can purchase additional kits later to expand their garden.
Tiered Garden Beds
Do you know someone who wants to take their elevated gardening to the next level? Get them a tiered garden bed. Not only does a terrace garden bed create a cool layering effect, but it lets someone grow plants with different root depths, soil requirements and watering needs next to each other, saving space and hassle. The Yosemite Falls 6' x 6' Raised Garden Bed has three levels and five sections to let someone build the garden they imagine. Serious gardeners who have more space will go ga-ga over the Split Waterfall Terrace Garden Bed with its 12' x 12' design.
Tool-Free Curved Garden Beds
Who says a gardening space needs to have straight lines? A curved raised garden bed gives someone's yard more personality and can integrate well with other landscape features like walkways and trees, creating a blended effect when desired. Our Wavy Navy 4' x 8' Raised Garden Bed adds graceful curves while maintaining the basic garden bed shape. For the same style a larger size, get the Lazy Curve 4' x 12' Raised Garden Bed. Want to throw out the gardening rules? The Versailles Sunburst Terrace Garden Bed is a jaw-dropping yard feature with nine planting sections in different sizes and levels.
More Great Gifts for Gardeners: Veggies!
When someone wants to harvest delicious veggies, they'll need the right garden gifts to get the best bounty. Our Stack and Extend Veggie Walls attach to a raised bed, allowing them to grow vine vegetables, above-ground vegetables and root veggies in the same space. Available as straight or curved panels, they're made of stainless steel and nylon with a design that allows better airflow and sunlight. Other gifts for gardeners include the Extendable Cold Frame Greenhouse Cover. By adding this to a 4' x 4' raised bed, they have a mini greenhouse to extend the growing season.
