Aprons are often thought of as something worn while cooking, but why limit them? This wonderful utility apron from Typhon East not only keeps you clean but also has pockets to carry an assortment of tools in. What’s more, this apron comes with knee pads!

The gardener in your life will surely be glad not to have to deal with gritty knees or accidentally kneeling on a rock while gardening.

Mr. Stacky five-tier planters

Making additions to a pro gardener’s garden can be a touchy subject. Often they already have a layout for their garden, and suggesting a change to that may not be received well, depending on the gardener. So why not get them something moveable, something that doesn’t take up a lot of room, but that’s still incredibly useful? This five-tier stackable planter from Mr. Stacky is perfect for smaller plants, perhaps vines or strawberries, and can be placed out in the garden, on a patio, or indoors by a window. It comes in several colors to best match the aesthetic of the gardener in your life.

Ohuhu mini greenhouse

What else takes up only a little space, is moveable, and so exciting for a gardener to get? How about a mini greenhouse! Ohuhu’s mini greenhouse is a few feet tall, which gives you plenty of room for a few rows of seedlings and some tropical plants, but not so big that it becomes an issue. Having a greenhouse would be a dream come true for many gardeners, but a regular sized one is too permanent and too big to be manageable. This one is portable and easy to set up and maintain, meaning that any gardener can enjoy it!

Now you don’t have to worry or stress over what to get the experienced gardener in your life! Whether you’re shopping for a friend or a family member, you can’t go wrong with this list of gardening goodies.
