If you have an avid gardener in your life, you already know just how much they love flowers. So, this Valentine’s Day instead of giving flowers, help the one you love grow some of their own. Here are my gift recommendations to help keep your love and garden growing!

Digz® Leather Palm Garden Gloves – Garden lovers enjoy taking care of their flowers, herbs and plants so a great pair of quality gloves will go a long way when it comes to working in the garden. I really like the Digz® line of women’s leather palm gloves. Not only are they comfortable and strong, they’re nice looking too. At a price point of $55, they are more expensive than basic garden gloves but will last year after year and be a thoughtful addition to Valentine’s Day flowers this year!

Havahart Spray Away Animal Deterrent – Nothing will frustrate your Valentine more than critters eating up all their hard work in the garden. The Havahart Spray Away Animal Deterrent is a motion-activated water repellent that will keep a watchful eye on your garden when you can’t. If something crosses its path it will shower them with a spray of water and send them on their way. Safe, all natural and effective, this product costs around $70. Your Valentine will thank you over and over again!

Hummingbird Feeder – Another great gift idea for the gardener in your life is a hummingbird feeder, which will draw in beautiful hummingbirds and can create a picturesque garden scene in almost every part of the country. Simply hang the feeder near a window and enjoy. The feeders typically cost around $20 and will leave your Valentine, and the hummingbirds, singing with joy.

Mantis® Four-Cycle Gas Powered Tiller – One of my favorite garden tools is the Mantis® Four-Cycle Gas Powered Tiller. With a ton of power, it can fit inside your flowerbeds and cultivate the soil quickly and easily. It is going to be the go-to power tool this spring and your special someone will be thanking the garden gods for many springs to come! At a price point of $450, the Mantis® Tiller is the ultimate “I Love You” this Valentine’s Day.
