CobraHead 'mini' Weeder

HomeGardenandHomestead.com Picks the Top 5 Holiday Gifts for Experienced and Beginning Gardeners

​​​​​As the holiday season arrives, it’s time to make a gift list — and check it at least twice. Some friends and family members are easy to buy for. But the difficult-to-shop-for friends and relatives require a bit more creativity.

Fortunately, HomeGardenandHomestead.com has assembled its Top 5 list of the best gifts for gardeners.

"This year's holiday gift list includes great choices for experienced gardeners as well as beginners who want to learn about gardening," said Randall D. Schultz, Content Editor for HomeGardenandHomestead.com, a leading website for information and trends about homes, gardens and homesteads of all sizes. 

All of the gifts on this Top 5 list can be purchased online for quick delivery in time for the holidays.

The forged steel blade cuts through all types of soil, even the toughest clay. The ergonomic blue handle is molded around the unique steel blade to ensure it can never work loose. The CobraHead “mini” Weeder sells for $24.95 on www.cobrahead.com.

Ultimate Seed-Starting Kit

Park's Ultimate Vegetable Garden Collection contains everything needed to start seeds indoors. The sturdy Park Bio-Dome seed starter creates the ideal environment for seeds to sprout. The cover keeps moisture in and the vents promote airflow to the seedlings.

Dig Holes Fast

Why dig holes for bulbs and starter plants when you can drill them? The planting augers from Power Planter have a 3/8-inch, non-slip hex drill bit end that fits into any standard power drill.
