This winter holiday season, give your favorite gardener something they can use: seeds to grow, tubers to plant, or a handy planting guide for next spring. While we wait patiently for next year's growing season to start, garden-themed gifts inspire our creativity and give us gardeners something to look forward to. Discover lots of great ideas in the "top ten" list below, or browse the Gardener Gifts Collection.

Art Packs

1) Art Packs

Each of our Art Packs is made with love, from the farmers that grow and harvest the seeds to the artists who create the unique designs that grace every pack. Plus, these seed packs are so pretty, they don't need wrapping paper. Tie a bundle together with raffia or use them to dress up gift baskets. Browse the New for 2023 Art Packs here.

Art Packs also make great stocking stuffers! Hang them as ornaments in a tree, use them for table settings and holiday party swag, or slip them into a beautiful note card to send a seedy season's greeting!

The 2023 Art of Seed Calendar

2) The 2023 Art of Seed Calendar

The 2023 Art of Seed Calendar draws from our latest collaboration with a diverse crew of independent artists working in different media. Plus, everyone needs a calendar, so why not have one filled with gorgeous contemporary art inspired by the garden?

Each month showcases an original work of art that illustrates a seed story from the artist's point of view. It's user-friendly too, with lots of space for writing your to-dos.

The Dahlia Gift Sampler

3) The Dahlia Gift Sampler

Dahlias are exceptionally beautiful flowers, in part because they are genetic "octoploids," meaning they have eight sets of chromosomes–four times the amount of most plants! This genetic complexity results in a wide range of diverse flower forms. To showcase this spectacular range, our Gift Samplers include a colorful mix of different types (from pompoms to waterlily-shaped blooms).

Dahlia tubers ship in spring; order a Sampler as a holiday gift and you will receive a beautiful card to give now. View details here.

What's Inside A Flower?

Start kids off with easy-to-grow seeds like sunflowers, beans, or pumpkins. Having real tools of their own helps kids build pride in their work. Our child-sized trugs and watering cans look just as sophisticated as adult tools–and they're equally well-made.
