When it comes to gifts for plant lovers, you have a lot of options to consider. After all, you have gardening tools, planter pots, and, of course, actual plants. So if there's a green thumb in your life and you want to express your gratitude for their friendship and love, be sure to peep our list of garden-centric gifts. From a sizable snake plant to a set of plant care essentials, you have quite a few options to look through.

The great thing about gardening is that you can get into it when you're young (or at any point in your life) and enjoy it through late adulthood because, though it can certainly be a good workout, it's relaxing and not particularly taxing on the body. So we'll always encourage anyone with a curiosity about the great outdoors to put down their screens and remotes and spend some time in the dirt getting to know Mother Nature in the most beautiful way possible.

With gift-giving season underway, now is the time to start your search for the perfect present that everyone on your list will actually use and love. So if you want to make your loved ones smile a little bigger this year, peep our list below and snag something special. Personally, we're coveting the chic waist apron, dry-erase planter, and lush hydrangea bouquet. No matter what the gardener in your life likes, you'll find something to suit their green-centric needs ahead.

We can all agree that rather than gifting flora, plants are hands down the better, longer-lasting option. What's more, snake plants are arguably the easiest to look after: Simply place them on a windowsill that gets plenty of sun and water them every few weeks. Yes, that's it.
