Young people moving from condos and apartments to a house with a yard are often at a loss about what do with their newly acquired yard space. If they have lived in a condo, they may have gardening gloves and a pair of scissors but not much else. You may want to help start the tool collection with some of the following ideas for housewarming gifts:
- Gardening Books
- Metal rake for moving stones and soil
- Shovel for digging
- Wheel barrow
- Hand tools - little tools for flower beds - trowel, rake, shovel
- Clipper for branches, perennials
- Hedge clipper - if there is a hedge
- Rake for the lawn
- Lawn mower if there is grass
- Gardening gloves
- Hoses
- Sprinkler heads - if there is a lawn
Wow your Buyer friend with a copy of the Lee Valley catalogue .
For the environmentalist think “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” with a compost container and a list of upcoming Garage Sales where most of the equipment can be purchased in gently used condition.
