Green Thumb Fathers Day Gift Ideas



Father’s Day is nearly here and with it comes the inevitable gift shouting chores. It seems so much easier to come up with gift ideas for mothers. For some reason, gift ideas for women are easier to brainstorm.

It’s not that we don’t love our fathers. Because of men’s natural tendency to mollify their emotions, purchasing a gift for your dad can be a little on the tricky side--far more so than other gift ideas. Women aren't just inherently easier to buy for, it's probably that we stress a little more about making sure that Dad gets something he really likes.

Growing Up Means Being a Little More Considerate When we Buy Gifts.

As children we can quite often get away with a gift that Pop’s really doesn’t like much. Dad’s still going to be grateful isn’t he? As an adult you probably want to put a little more thought into what you give your father for Father’s Day.

What's on Your Father's Day Gift List?

One way to find the perfect gift is to consider what your father enjoys as a hobby.

Gardening is becoming more popular for a great many men. In years past gardening was seen as the province of ladies and older men, but more and more that is no longer the case. Men of all ages are maintaining gardens as a way to get a little exercise and provide healthier foods for their family. The male gardener today ranges in age from 20-80 and even older. Men enjoy growing a lot of different vegetables and fruits, as well as—in the case of some men, even hard-to-grow flowers such as orchids.

Having a gardener in the family makes it a little easier to find just the right Father’s Day gardening gifts. Green thumb gifts, gardening gifts for Father’s Day are going to be a hit for the man who loves the outdoor world and growing his own produce.

Father's Day Gift Ideas for the Gardener

Father's Day gift ideas that incorporate his love of gardening into the gift make it easier to come up with a gift that you know he's going to love. Just a few Father's Day gift ideas include:

An indoor salad greens kit or an indoor hydroponics kit is also a wonderful Father's Day gift idea. Hydroponics is less labor intensive in most cases than actual in-ground gardening but allows for growing a wide range of different items. The indoor salad greens kit offers the same advantages while cutting down on the world involved.

Of course, if your father is, like many men, someone who enjoys working a larger outdoor garden, there are several gifts which could be given to accommodate his love of gardening too.

For the guy who loves gardening and moves a great deal around particularly in container gardening scenarios, a great gardening gift idea might be a garden cart. These make it easier to move weighty things from one area to another without getting into so much manual labor.

A set of outdoor containers which are large enough to hold the different vegetables that he might like to plant, as well as seeds or better still, plants which are partly grown to place in the pots is also a wonderful gardening gift.

A weedier to help to lower the labor involved in removing the weeds from an in-ground garden might also be a helpful gardening tools for the avid gardener and would be a good Father's day gift idea.

What's the Bottom Line?

Essentially, anything that would be helpful in the garden could be a good idea for a Father's Day gift for the man who enjoys getting his hands dirty in the garden. For those who are a little older, make gardening easier with some gardening ideas or kits that allow for low labor and low maintenance gardening. These are Father's Day gift ideas that any dad can appreciate.
