Brooklyn Botanic Garden Shop:
Hanami Plate. Decorative plate, 10" diameter, design by 17th c. Japanese painter Ogata Korin. Beautiful gift for anyone who appreciates Asian arts.
Take your pick of the BBG Garden Guides … every subject imaginable, from growing roses and vegetables to pruning, indoor gardening, bulbs, wildflower and woodland gardens. I have a collection of almost all of these guides, and they are dog-eared from reference use.
Any gardener who doesn't have some would certainly appreciate several, just for starters.
From Winterthur:
Why not a living vertical garden set that comes with a built-in watering system? Perfect for the person with a small garden, as this unit, just 16" x 20" high by 3" deep will fit on almost any wall, railing, or fence … use your imagination.
What could be better than a folding bench that you can easily put in storage during cold and snowy months? Or a bench that can easily be moved around the garden.
This one is metal, with a bird motif.
From Longwood Gardens:
If you know someone who spends hours at the computer on garden sites, how about a Longwood screen saver with 35 rotating color images?
And from Hillwood Museum and Gardens in DC:
An ornament inspired by the Faberge Twelve Monogram Easter Egg. The museum, by the way, has a sizeable collection of Faberge, well worth a visit when you're in DC.
