Guest Picks: Get Your Green Thumb on With Gardening Gear
Go for growth with gardening tools and accessories that make yard or windowsill plantings a breeze
You don't have to have a big backyard or special talent to enjoy the benefits of gardening. With the right tools and accessories, everyone can be successful at growing something of which to be proud. Whether tending simple indoor herb pots, an air plant or a sprawling flower garden, you can rest assured that you'll look good doing it. — Erin from House of Earnest
Heirloom Seeds by The Little Ragamuffin
I love the idea of planting heirloom seeds for homegrown goodies all spring and summer. Lettuce is a quick-growing plant, so you won't have to wait too long to enjoy the veggies of your labor.
Pot Filler
Don't make pots heavier than they need to be. Use a mesh pot filler for the deep recesses of your pots so that you can use less soil and keep them from weighing a ton.
Edging for Miniature Garden Terrarium by The Garden Barn
I love how pretty and understated this miniature edging is. I'd trim a romantic container garden with it.
Cast Stone Planter, Basil
Cast stone planters look wild and natural and would be great dispersed among landscaping.
Sunny Side Watering Can
Who's day wouldn't start off sunny when using this yellow watering can? I love the bright poppy color, and a bonus is that you'll be able to find it in a cluttered garage.
Castor Trowel
I swoon over pretty details, and this trowel is no exception. The natural wooden handle and copper details make it both beautiful and functional.
Gardener's Pail
Catch weeds or harvest the first crops in this jute and canvas pail. It's pretty and durable, and it doesn't have holes that let your goods fall through.
Rustic Herb Garden Kit
If you don't have the yard space, don't fret! This (really beautiful) indoor herb kit will keep your green thumb satiated and your summer culinary creations fun and fresh.
Slate Garden Markers
I love garden markers — probably more than gardening. Aside from the usual plant labels, write inspiring or hopeful words and phrases to keep your outdoors a happy place.
Smith & Hawken Premium Quality Potting Bench
Serious about gardening? Take it to the next level with a potting workspace. I like that this has a bunch of storage and a flip-out leaf and that it comes in pretty eucalyptus wood.
Bag of Clothes Pins
Pin crawling vines to a trellis or mark your seedlings with clothespins. They are perfect for outdoor gardening and have so many other uses that you'll wonder why you didn't buy more.
Milk Bottle Vase
Bring fresh blooms indoors with this pretty milk jar set. I'm thinking the bottles would be cute drink vessels for a party too — complete with striped straws, of course.
Terra-Cotta Rose Pot
I am obsessed with terra-cotta rose pots. They are tall and narrow, which gives them a modern and pretty look. They could be used for so many things aside from potting plants too: Imagine them filled with kitchen utensils or Easter basket goodies or olives.
French Hermetic Glass Terrines
Whether you're a canning pro or just love a good presentation, these French jars are perfect for packing up your harvest.
Handmade Talavera-Inspired Ceramic Globes
Bring some color to the party with these stunning ceramic globes. Nestled in greenery, they are the perfect punch of pretty for a more minimalist garden.
Copper Plant Markers
A little sleeker than the slate versions, these copper plant markers would age and patina beautifully in an outdoor space.
Garden Obelisk
Give winding vines a place to climb, and create an amazing outdoor atmosphere at the same time. I love that these metal garden structures are beautiful with or without climbing plants.
Black Clay Tron Cao
I love that black clay pots look like iron but have a warmth that is so perfect in outdoor entertaining spaces. This particular style looks like hammered bronze and would look fabulous spilling over with greenery.
Letterpress Ferns Mini Card & Tags by Bears Eat Berries
When your garden starts producing fruits or veggies, package them up and use them for gifting all summer and fall. These darling letterpress gift tags and cards are the perfect accompaniment for a jar full of strawberry jam.
River Rock Stepping Stones
Make a pathway in no time with premade river rock stepping stones. These not only add function, but also texture and dimension.
