Gardeners are some of the easiest people to buy gifts for. Gardeners love tools and things like compost. But it is important to pay attention to their individual needs, because not all gardeners like or need the same things.

The most important thing to consider is the physicality, strength and physical limitations of the gardener. Nowadays, there are many tools available for those with special needs, including “lefties” and people with limited movement.
