Gifts for Green Thumb Dads

A good garden center is a great place to find gifts. Of course you'll find plants, which always make great gifts. But there's so much more at your Fred Meyer Garden Center these days. Here are some suggestions for your Green Thumb Dad…

• Outside in… Nature sure knows what it’s doing. There’s nothing quite as relaxing as a gentle stream, softly splashing over rocks, bubbling and swirling it’s way along. An indoor fountain is a great way to bring the relaxing, stress-freeing sound of flowing water to Dad’s office, den or favorite sitting area.
• The tool man… Call me a gardening nut, but who wouldn’t be happy with a new set of tools to dig, plant, weed and cultivate. (That rates above a tie any day!) And just for Dad you’ll find several choices with padded or ergonomic handles that make the project that much easier. Don’t forget a new set of work gloves, too!
• His Outdoor Hideaway… It’s not only about a well-groomed lawn and some flowerbeds anymore. The yard and garden has become an outdoor room, as deserving of attention to detail as any spot indoors. From home magazines to TV shows to your neighbor’s yard, everywhere you turn these days you see great choices in benches, chairs, trellises, chimes, gazing globes, bird baths, plant hangers, baskets, planters, wall hangings, and water features (either ponds for the yard or a fountain for the deck)… and great materials like ceramic, cedar, brass, iron, and many others. Any green thumb will appreciate receiving gifts that enhance his garden and make it warmer, friendlier, more enjoyable or more relaxing.
• Fine feathered befriending… Birds do so much for a garden. They bring life, activity, a happy song. And many also help control pesky insects. Attracting birds is as easy as putting up one or more places to eat and sleep. You’ll find a whole lot of handsome choices in bird feeders and houses these days, as well as hangers, birdbaths and more.

So come and explore your Fred Meyer Garden Center… Great gifts for Dad will practically jump into your shopping cart!
