Welcome to our annual holiday gift-giving guide. Here
are our top 10 gift ideas for the gardeners in your life.
Merry gardening! |
#10 Amaryllis, $14.99 and
$19.99
A burst of color on a drab winter day. Preplanted,
these bulbs are in beautiful ceramic pots, ready for giving,
or in plain plastic pots, ready to move to one of your
favorite containers. Paperwhites are available and
crazy fragrant, too!
|
#9 Wire Floral Arrangers,
$5.99, $12.99, $14.99
Everyone loves a vase of fresh flowers, but not all of us
can make a Martha Stewart caliber bouquet. This little
wire doohickey sits atop a vase and keeps flower stems right
where you put them. Arrangers are available in a
simple wire style, and jazzed up with some "jewels." A
simple, practical gift. |
#8 Cool Touch
Gardening Gloves, $7.99
The Sugar Creek girls love this glove because it molds to
the hand and allows for a much finer sense of touch --
important when you're doing detail work like pulling small
weeds or working with the intricate plant parts.
Machine-washable, too.

#7 Sugar Creek Gardens Gift
Certificates
You name the price -- one size fits all. How easy is
that?? |
#6 Vintage-Inspired
Note Cards, $15.99
We dare you to not love these note cards! They come
prepackaged in a sweet "book" in one of variety of
themes -- water lilies, sunflowers, peonies, roses,
songbirds, pine trees, and butterfly fairies.
|
#5 Worm Poop, $14.99
Guaranteed to get a laugh, and guaranteed to get you a big
fat "thank you!" next summer when that special someone's
garden is flush with success.We'll even put it in a gift
bag for you. No odor -- just brown gold. |
#4 Audubon Singing Bird Clock,
$24.99, $29.99
It chirps on the hour! Available in two sizes and
comes with a bird identification guidebook -- a perfect way
to bring a little life into the house in the dead of winter.
|
#3 Bird Baths, $89, $85
Is it possible to have too many birdbaths? We didn't
think so. At Sugar Creek we carry beautiful ceramic
birdbaths in teal and brown, and for those Missouri fans, we
even have Mizzou birdbaths.
The birds in your life will thank you.
|
#2 The Well-Tended Perennial
Garden, $34.95
We *love* this book by Tracy DiSabato-Aust. A real
how-to guide for perennial lovers that covers plants,
maintenance, design, fertilizing, staking, pruning -- the
whole shebang. A valuable book for beginners or a nice
refresher and source of inspiration for seasoned
professionals.
And remember --
V.I.G. members save 20% on all book purchases!
|
#1 The Soil Knife,
$24.99
We've said it before and we'll say it again, ladies
and gentlemen -- we have yet to meet a person who does not
rave about this gardening tool. It digs, it cuts, it
saws, it weeds -- it even has an orange handle so you can't
lose it in your yard!
The soil knife is hands-down our top gift pick for
gardeners. You'll throw out all the other tools in
your garage and kick yourself for not getting one sooner.
You've been warned! |
