The Gardener
By Jessica Harlan

If there’s someone on your list with an unassailably green thumb, no gift would be more appreciated than one that can help them enjoy their hobby. You know who we’re talking about—it’s the person who gets up before dawn so they can water their flowers before water-restriction hours, and who can always be counted on to share their bumper crop of zucchini. You enjoyed those tomatoes last summer didn’t you? Well, be sure to return the favor with one of these gifts.

Guiding Light
If the daylight just doesn’t last long enough to admire the begonias, shed some light on the problem with a solar-powered planter. Solar GardenGlo Planters are a solar-control unit that soaks up the sunlight by day and powers six bright LED bulbs when it’s dark, illuminating a clarified resin planter.

Winter Garden
Does your favorite gardener get the blues once the ground freezes? The AeroGarden can keep spirits up through the long winter. Inspired by an aeroponics exhibit at Walt Disney World, the creators of AeroGarden have developed what very well might be the first indoor gardening appliance—a self-contained unit that grows plants in moist air, up to five times faster than in dirt. Seed kits include herb blends, salad greens, chile peppers, cherry tomatoes, and flowers.

The Perfect Carrier
Whether it’s for toting tools and gloves out to the back garden, or for filling with fresh produce and flowers, a sturdy, easy-to-transport basket will make any gardener smile. This version flattens for easy storage in the shed, and can also do double duty for trips to the farmer’s market.
