countenance ’s face it , most gardener are moderately difficult to buy for . You ca n’t bribe them plants , since plant stuff is so personal . Tools are sturdy to choose , since for nurseryman , they are really putz , so most have them .   In an travail to incur more paying attention if not fun gifts for many of you who have protagonist who screw plant , ( or even for yourself ! ) , here are some options from my secret list :

As the fable goes , cases of these specimen jars were find by one of the savvy buyers at Antrhopolgie / Urban Outfitters / Terrain , once bound for the Smithsonian Institution . These time of origin and reliable scientific specimen jar went unswayed for years , crate in wood and wrapped in old , Danish newsprint , late launch , these vessels are perfectly re purposed as terrariums for your home or office . At 11″ x 5″ , they should hold some moss and a small uncommon plant , or two . ( I might fill up mine with pickled mice from the greenhouse to commit a message ) .

I ’ve wanted one of these for age . First , there was the doll cam , a small , digital tv camera that you could tie to your bird birdfeeder ( made by the same manufacturer , Wingscapes ) which allowed you to get awesome paradigm of snort , close - up . But this industrial plant Cam River offer a prison term - lapsing feature , so you may fascinate the image of a peony slowly opening , or , for someone like me who works every day and gets home at night , it allow me to see perhaps a rarefied flora of bulb that may have flower during the solar day when the Sunday was out , but one that may only afford for a day or two during the full growing season . Come on , one ca n’t clock everything to open only on the weekends ! I have a acquaintance at MIT who like practice this camera for time - reverting picture taking in his function , and even on his commute rest home making corking little video of the journey home on the train . For $ 79.99 , it ’s a bargain for the result it provides .


There is nothing like at beautiful pig plant life label , all aged and green , but they have to start out as shiny copper . England is still the only place to find these , andWells & Winteris another rootage who will embark to USA . I wish to have epithet lasered on , but you’re able to practice a pigment marker , or itch it in . The hanging ace make terrifying gifts for those who have many bush and trees that are strange , since shaping labels only last for a couple of years . I ca n’t tell you how many times that I have lost the name of a shrub . I care to have a graphical artist paint a nice enameled number of each one , and then keep a master tilt in the mansion . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
