Green Thumb Gift Ideas are Plentiful!

Looking around this holiday season, it's fun to see so many great gifts related to the yard and garden. People are really into creating restful outdoor havens... porches, patios and yards have become THE place to relax and get away from that everyday bustle. Along those lines, here are some gifts you can't go wrong with...

Fountains & Water Features These are so popular, bringing the relaxing sounds of tumbling water indoors. A great gift for their favorite quiet spot or room where they spend lots of time.

Thermometers Avid gardeners always keep an eye on the weather forecast and current conditions - it's important for determining when's the best time to perform certain jobs in the yard. Here's how you can play off that tendency in your gift giving. Take a look at all the thermometers and weather stations available for a sure-to-be-used gift. Shown here is a Wireless Forecaster from Oregon Scientific. It includes deluxe weather forecasting, moon phase indicator and more.

Bird Feeders & Houses Birds are favorite guests of people who love spending time in their yard and garden. They bring energy and life to dreary days, and joyous sounds to sunny ones. That makes bird feeders, baths and houses great gift ideas. And you'll find so many choices these days. Why in bird feeders alone, there are hanging feeders for large birds or small, feeders that attach to your window, nectar feeders to attract hummingbirds, and several other styles.
