Right then, listen up, you wanna get a grouse prezzie for someone who's always out in the backyard wrangling weeds, givin' the roses a haircut, or sprayin' the lemons? You know the type – always answers the door with mitts covered in dirt and loves nothin' more than showin' off their latest successful graft to anyone who'll stand still. Let's chuck a few bonza ideas your way that'll make 'em grin like a shot fox.
Gardening Tools
A decent set of gardening tools – like a good ol' shovel, a hoe, and maybe even a sickle if they're serious – is a ripper
of a gift. Or how about a watering can with a bit of pizzazz? And a sturdy, good-lookin' apron with pockets for all their bits and bobs is always a winner.
Pots and Planters
Go for some beaut, colourful ceramic pots or planters with a bit of flair in the design. Bamboo or wooden ones can add a nice natural touch too, ya know?
Art Prints with Botanical themes
Grab some cool prints of Aussie native flowers that really pop. That'll give your gift that true-blue Aussie flavour you're after.
Plant Books
A book on indoor plants, general gardening, or even somethin' specific like bonsais or, get this, medicinal mushrooms (they're all the rage these days!) could be a fair dinkum interesting and fun prezzie.
Tickets to a Botanic Garden
Our top pick, naturally, is the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne – a top-notch spot for any plant lover to wander around and get some inspo.
Gardening Workshop
A workshop on cactuses or orchids could be a real treat for someone who's mad about their greenery.
Exotic Plants
Depending on the time of year, you could get 'em some seasonal stunners or a bit of a quirky challenge with an exotic plant, like a carnivorous beauty or a night-flowering wonder.
Seeds or Bulbs
For the real green thumb, a packet of seeds or some bulbs of their favourite flower or plant is the go. They'll get a real kick out of nurturing 'em from scratch.
Hopefully, this little bunch of ideas gets your brain tickin'. The fruit of your effort? Seein' that massive smile when they unwrap your gift! Sweet as!
