Best garden gifts as seen on PTL

AccuSharp

AccuSharp is one of many products for sharpening tools with a straight edge like shovels, trowels, hoes, etc. The sharpener is run across the business end of a shovel in this photo to give it a good edge.

I’ve been using this sharpening tool for more than 30 years. It keeps tools sharp, which will make them last longer, and gardening chores are always easier with a sharp edge.

Nature’s Way Bee House

The Nature’s Way Multi-Chamber Beneficial Insect Bee House has a four-chamber design, screen chamber, attracts lacewings, shutter chamber attracts lady bugs, bamboo shoots and drilled wood attract solitary bees.

Another great way to help the good bugs. Native bees and other pollinators will nest in this bee home.

Root Pouch

10-, 15- and 200-gallon Root Pouch containers are available in the Everybody Gardens store. They are inexpensive, lightweight and made from recycled plastic bottle.

I planted a 200-gallon version of this container made of recycled water bottles. Check out the smaller versions, which are lightweight and easy to store between plantings.

Crayola planters for kids

Crayola has a wide range of gardening products for children.

If you’re looking for a way to get kids into gardening, Crayola has great products that are fun and easy for children to use.

Flower Seeded Gift Wrap

Flowering Seeded Gift Wrap Kit has wildflower seeds embedded in the paper. After unwrapping, the paper can be planted in the garden.

When you’re done unwrapping presents, this gift wrap can actually be planted. It’s embedded with wildflower seeds.

Rain Gauge

The EZ Read High Visibility Jumbo Rain Gauge is inexpensive and easy to use and most importantly can be read from up to 50 feet away.

Every gardener needs to know how much rain has fallen in their garden. This rain gauge can be seen from across the garden.

Mini Root Assassin

Here are both versions of the Root Assassin Serrated Shovel.

This is one of my favorite tools for working in the garden. The Mini Root Assassin Serrated Shovel is lightweight and built to last. I’m so happy to have it by my side when gardening.

And the winner of the Ugly Christmas sweater is…
