How about giving them their own personal or business website at the Suite? With these easy, no-nonsense sites, no knowledge of html or FTP is needed.
Gardeners are eager learners. There are bound to be courses at the Suite that would please them.
So far as specific gift ideas are concerned, here are a few that may be of interest. Gardeners will be very pleased with a premium membership to My Garden Guide Gold. Thanks to your gift, they can do quick online plant searches of the 38,000 plant encyclopedia by using their zip code, and check weekly garden features, ask the experts, and much more. They will also have access to bi-weekly pocket garden guides, 240 gardening tutorials, a daily gardening blog, and 10% discount on gardening purchases.
Magazine subscriptions are the ideal gift. Titles of interest to gardeners include The Heirloom Gardener, published by Hill Folk's Publishing four times a year. This is a wonderful source of information on heirloom varieties and gardens.
For wildflower and wild plant lovers, a subscription to Plant Talk (www.plant-talk.org)is exactly what they want. Published by the National Tropical Botanical Garden, this quarterly magazine focuses on the natural beauty and conservation of plants on a worldwide basis. The last issue had a lead article on conservation in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
The 2004 Baer's Agricultural Almanac and Gardener's Guide, edited by Gerald S. Lestz, is a very practical, enjoyable gift they can enjoy every day of the year. Published by John Baer's Sons, this all-American favorite has been around for 179 years. Along with flower facts, folklore, garden news and ideas, there are delightful recipes, poetry, and humor. The best gift of all is a five-year subscription, so they won't miss a single issue. Fruit gardeners can create distinctive fruit baskets for people on their shopping list. Line a plain woven basket with colorful tissue paper or fruit-accented fabric. Fill it with your home-grown fruits, homemade jams, jellies, and fruit sauces. Finally, tie a colorful bow on each end of the handle.
