Top 30 Best Gardening Gifts for Mom
1. Vivero Hori Hori Garden Knife
What woman doesn’t want a sharp Japanese knife to muck about the garden with? This is useful and handy for a multitude of outdoor activities including landscaping, weeding, digging, camping, hiking and even fishing.

2. Asano Japanese Ninja Claw Rake and Cultivator
Continuing with the Japanese tools idea is this nicely balanced claw tool. Japanese gardening tools are a popular thing with gardeners in many Western countries. It’s not because of any Japanese gardener stereotype, but because people recognize that superior gardening techniques have existed in that culture for centuries.
3. Foldable Garden Kneeler With Handles And Seat
This works as a kneeling pad with handles that assist her in getting up or turn it over and use it as a stool or a tool bench. It even comes with a bonus tool pouch. This helps reduce the pain many experience with prolonged stooping, bending, or kneeling. Heavy duty and usable indoors and out.
4. Sunset Vista Designs Gardening Time Chime
It’s not all hard work. Some of the gardening fun comes from sitting back and enjoying what you have accomplished. Recognize her love of gardening with a charming wind chime made from models of gardening tools. The whimsy come through loud and clear, making this a great gift for a gardener mom of any age.
5. Garden Gloves with Fingertips Claws
Dig right into the ground with your own hands, what a great way to really involve yourself in the gardening process! This idea is perfect for that mom who enjoys digging right in.

6. Luwint 36” Diameter Elastic Gardening Hat
Being out in the elements is great. Except for all that being out in the elements. Serious news about UV exposure makes Mom want to protect her lovely skin as much as possible. If she fishes, this is great for that, too. Or for that outdoor Toby Keith concert on the 4th of July. Not for use on roller coasters!
7. Trowel and Error: Organic Remedies, Shortcuts, and Tips for the Gardener
From the sales blurb: “Ever since she was old enough to help her grandmother in the garden, Sharon Lovejoy has spent her life working with plants–and along the way, through “trowel and error,” she’s accumulated hundreds and hundreds of remedies, tips, short-cuts, and cure-alls.
Now Ms. Lovejoy–author of Roots, Shoots, Buckets & Boots and the award-winning Sunflower Houses–does for the garden what Heloise or the Queen of Clean does for the household.” A great read for relaxing on the back porch, enjoying looking at the results of her labor. Gardening labor, I’m not talking about having kids.
