Dear *|FNAME|*,
As we approach our beloved Thanksgiving holiday in a few days, we are finally nearing the end of a long and extraordinary year. If you and your family and friends have been fortunate to remain healthy this year, that is a reason in itself to give thanks.
During this time of unprecedented change and uncertainty, the relationships that have deepened and the new friendships that have developed with those of you in The Resilient Gardener Community has given me the inspiration I needed to continue sharing my ideas, resources, tips, and tools — especially when I questioned my bandwidth to stay with it.
This is the beauty and bounty of community at its very best, and how connection can support us in realizing our individual and collective resilience — something I have so much gratitude for.
It is with a full and grateful heart for this rich community, that I’ve been thinking about the gift giving season and how I could create a holiday shopping experience that would be easy and enjoyable for you to find what you’re looking for for that special gardening enthusiast in your life.
That inspired me to put together the first edition of “Toni’s Holiday Gardening Gift Giving Guide”. Keeping with the theme of creating greater ease and joy, I have picked several items from The Resilient Gardener Store that are multi-functional, ergonomic, economical, and that provide extra safety and comfort — perfect for the gardener who could benefit from a little extra support in caring for and tending to their garden.
Simply click on the links to be taken to the individual product sites for the very best, up to the minute pricing.
As we’re getting creative in practicing socially distanced and virtual holiday gatherings, I wish you and your loved ones a safe, healthy, and love-filled holiday.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Awakening Hand Cream
I’ve tried the others. This is the only hand cream that does the trick when my hands are rough and dry from gardening or when in dry, hot climates or frigid cold weather. I use it every day because it’s hydrating and moisture rich, plus I adore the fragrance of myrrh, ginger, and cinnamon.
$24.25
Purchase
Foxgloves Elle Grip Garden Gloves
I highly recommend this glove because they are super soft, yet super durable. They fit like a second skin and you can feel the difference between a live leaf and a dead leaf. These gloves protect your hands and forearms against scratches, irritation from plant oils, and sun damage.
$34.99
Purchase
Cobrahead Weeder and Cultivator
You’re going to love the quality and ergonomic design of this tool. You’ll love being able to simplify gardening tasks with these fabulous weeders that come in three sizes. Made with a forged steel blade, with a curved head that looks like a cobrahead and plows through any soil. Made in Wisconsin.
$66.95
Purchase
Ironwood Tool Company Diamond Tool Sharpener
My favorite tool sharpener. It’s large enough you won’t lose it, it’s easy to sharpen with two grits, and has the right features gardeners should look for in an ergonomic tool: a slip-resistant comfort grip and a safety guard to prevent accidents.
$28.00
Purchase
Ironwood Tool Company Soil Scoop
This is my #1 go-to tool. The ergonomic comfort grip is easy on your hands and the stainless-steel blade with serrated edges are perfect for digging, cutting, and weeding, making it a multifunctional winning tool. Made in the USA.
$22.00
Purchase
Radius Tools
When I discovered Adaptive Gardening, I realized this is the perfect ergonomic tool because they keep your wrist in a neutral alignment which reduces hand stress. They come in bright colors so you will not lose them easily, and they are guaranteed for life, and that’s a win-win-win.
$9.99
Purchase
Sun Joe Rechargeable Power Pruner
Decreased muscle strength and arthritis can make holding a pruner for any length of time a real challenge and I’ve been asked for a solution.
This Sun Joe pruner is cordless and rechargeable. I’ve used it and I appreciate it for its ability to cut through branches up to ½” and you get 750 cuts on a single charge.
$63.01
Purchase
Puddle-Proof Tote Bag
This tote makes a great gift! I always look for ways to save time and energy and not having to circle back for one more tool is a good time saver. This is my favorite all-time tote because there’s so much storage, and it has a puddle proof bottom so it won’t get wet if there’s a puddle close by.
$39.95
Purchase
Velcro Ties
Here’s a great idea to make gardening easier. As your plants grow, you can adjust and re-use these handy energy, time, and money saving Velcro ties. Cut them to any length and they last for several years.
$3.98
Purchase
Reversible Garden Kneeler
Anyone with a bad back appreciates this reversible kneeler. I love it so much we have several, so they are always handy to sit next to our elevated raised beds or when turned upside down, to kneel down to plant and tend. When you want to get back up, it flips from kneeler to a padded bench.
$44.95
Purchase
Space-Saving Potting Bench
This is such a great idea for small space gardens, and it’s perfect for any gardener with a bad back. Perfect for starting seeds, transplanting seedlings, or propagating houseplants, this slim-profile potting bench is a back saver. And with a compact footprint, it won’t take up a lot of space.
$199.00
Purchase
Self-Watering 2’x4′ Elevated Raised Bed
This is Gardeners Supply best-selling elevated raised bed. Now this no-bend planter keeps plants hydrated with 2 generous 5-gallon reservoirs that create even moisture throughout the bed, saving you time, energy, and money on your water bill.
$299.00
Purchase
Self-Watering Viva Railing Planter
Apartment and condo dwellers rejoice! Add a punch of color and instant drama to your balcony with this self-watering planter. Self-watering pots minimize maintenance and provide plants with a consistent supply of moisture.
$44.95
Purchase
Dramm Revolution Hand Sprayer
Decreased muscle strength and arthritis in our hands makes this thumb-controlled hose sprayer a delight to use. I love it because it’s multi-functional, it has an ergonomic grip, it’s easy to use, and it comes in a myriad of colors. Purple is my favorite but you get to choose!
$18.84
Purchase
WaterRight Lightweight Hose
Are you tired of fighting with heavy hoses? These are the best lightweight hoses I’ve found. I’ve thrown away those heavy rubber and vinyl hoses. Flexible in all weather conditions from freezing temperatures to hot water up to 140 degrees. Plus, it’s certified for safe drinking water.
