My Gift for a Gardener

By Yvonne Brixey


Square foot garden kits are perfect gifts for anyone interested in gardening. Whether you have a niece who will be planting her first garden or a mother-in-law who plants an expert garden, square foot gardening kits make notable and practical gifts.

Naturally you don't have to use square foot garden kits to start a square foot garden but for the gardening novice a guided kit makes the process of planting a first garden easy, and for the gardening guru, square foot garden kits are a great addition to any garden bed and can supply the gardener with new garden ideas and a pace change.

Square foot garden kits are particularly superb for urban settings - since a kit simply needs 1 or 2 sq. feet to yield a pretty garden, any person can use it, making it a great housewarming gift for anyone that just moved to a new place, irrespective of whether or not they have a normal garden. Having a garden in an urban setting permits you to save on produce prices and square foot garden kits can provide a square foot breath of unpolluted air, too.

Square foot garden kits have many advantages besides fitting into spaces that otherwise would not make allowances for a garden and allow even the most basic gardening student to milk these perks. Square foot garden kits can be planted in raised or flat garden beds, so gardens can be planted in standard yards or built on balconies or terraces. The smaller space required for a square foot garden means less time spent in the garden pulling weeds and less sq footage of soil to prep for planting. Even if the square foot garden kits recipient will not spend much time gardening, square foot garden kits let reap the benefits of fresh items and a pretty garden space with a modest square foot garden or two.

Square foot garden kits come in a selection of mixtures of plant varieties - whether you need a garden specially for growing tomatoes and herbs for your Italian cucina or you would like a plant garden that doubles as a decorative garden, square foot garden kits can do the job. It actually is as simple as choosing the square foot kit for the garden you imagine! You can search square foot garden kits online or ask your local plant nursery for guidance. You might even be well placed to customize your own square foot garden kits.

Ask the gardener (or soon-to-be-gardener) you've got in mind to help decide on the square foot garden kits, or choose a kit or 2 yourself as a surprise if you've got a basic idea of their gardening needs and preferences. Either way, they're sure to get a full season of use from the square foot garden kits. And just think, each time they season that spaghetti with the basil from their square foot garden bed, they will be thinking of you! They may even treat you to a meal made freshly from the square foot garden your kit helped in creating. Square foot garden kits are the present that just keeps giving!
