Some people are difficult to shop for, but not gardeners. They always appreciate plants and tools. some presents are perfect for budding gardeners too, who are just learning the joys of growing plants. Amaryllis bulbs always delight. They are magic. Pot the bulbs in a relatively small pot, burying them about halfway in soil. The flower stems emerge quickly, followed by enormous flowers in many colors. The flowers are heavy, so turn the pot often since the stems lean towards the sun. Paperwhite bulbs are also easy to grow indoors. Space them closely together in a pot and watch them go. They look like tiny white daffodils because they are species of Narcissus. The flowers are very sweetly fragrant. Fresh herb plants are always a hit with cooks. A sunny window is a good place for an indoor herb garden. Thoughtful gifts for gardeners also include gloves, knee pads, pruners, arm protectors and headlamps for finishing up gardening projects after sundown.
