15 Best Gifts for Plant Lovers and Gardeners (2026)

Let’s say your gift loves growing mushrooms but has evolved into more challenging varieties. In this case, North Spore makes an automated monotube ($165) that can be paired with either the brand’s substrate or fruiting blocks. It maintains a growing environment with proper airflow and humidity, and I’ve grown so many mushrooms in my house that I’ve turned into the crazy mushroom lady, leaving bags on neighbors’ porches and stalking acquaintances at the grocery store.

(Note that the photo above shows the golden oyster mushroom, which mycologists are investigating as a potential invasive species. North Spore says it is currently phasing out populations of the yellow oyster mushroom while it works to develop a spore-free strain.)

Decorative indoor trellis and plant saucers

If your friend or family member supports vines or flexible potted plants with bendable moss poles, or worse yet, a lime stake ladder made of pencils taped up with tape (it was an emergency, okay?), give them one of these laser-cut, handmade plant supports. There are stacked and modular versions (my favorite is the wonderful-smelling, extendable Zella in Redwood) as well as coasters, wall holders and saucers that water your plants from below. I’ve tested several of them-including the classic versions-and all of them have added a touch of style while lending important structure to floppy plants and vines. Can’t choose just one? Check out Treleaf’s range of gift packs.

The juicer is in the mail

Lula’s Garden heart-shaped box was featured in our guide to the best flower delivery services, and since then, several people have recommended the brand to me. I’ve tried it now, and I have to agree – it’s an excellent gift. They’re fun, elegant, and priced the same as, or even less than, bouquets. Not everyone is into taking care of houseplants, but succulents are very easy to care for, and the box they arrive in can be used as a planter. All you have to do is open the box and use the included straw to add a few splashes of water. The gardens are contemporary yet neutral enough to fit almost any decor. Just a heads up that opening up gardens that come with rocks (like Bliss) can be a little messy, but the more premium gardens (like Urban) don’t have any disassembled parts and come out of the box looking exactly as they do online.

To make compost indoors

As we saw in our guide to the best kitchen compost, Reencle Prime doesn’t make a fully ready-to-use compost, but it comes the closest of any of the major brands. It works a lot like a hot trash can, just throw your kitchen scraps into it, and the microbes will break it down over time into a kind of silty mixture. When the volume of the starting material reaches the filling line, the mixture can be extracted and added in a 1:4 ratio with potting soil, then left to dry for three weeks. After that, it can be used for outdoor and indoor plants. Not only will this save space in your gift basket and reduce the production of dangerous greenhouse gases, it will make their plants happy.

Modular landscape blocks

It’s frustrating to spend a lot of time and money landscaping your garden, only to find that landscape elements like real rock walls and edging can cost thousands of dollars. If your gift would like to make your garden stand out, these PolyRock blocks come in standard sections of six blocks that are approximately 4 feet long. They fit together neatly like Legos, look just like real rocks, and are flexible, so you can use them straight or bend them into a circle. There’s no drilling or leveling required, and it’s easy to take apart and move if you change your mind or design plans. You can choose from shades of grey, brown, black or white. I have a strip of gray blocks installed along the front of my house, and more than one neighbor thinks it’s real rock. The neighboring lawn has been cut with a string trimmer every week for months, and there is still a scratch on the blocks.
