For gardeners, there's typically a list forming. Usually, it's a to-do list ensuring that seeds are being planted, buds are getting watered, leaves and branches are being pruned, etc.
But this time of year, that to-do list might be turning into something of a wish list.
Tom Kasper has some thoughts on what to get the gardener in your life (or what to put on your list if you are the gardener.) From helpful tools to new plants to trips to conservatories, there's a variety of routes to take.
And don't forget that offering time together can be the most appreciated of any gift. Lending a hand in someone else's garden, sharing your expertise, or helping someone else start their own green-thumb hobby probably has a bigger impact than you might think.
