Do you have a few favorite gardeners on your holiday gift list? It?s always a challenge to find the right gift that is both fun and practical, yet not something he or she already has.

Well, here are a few ideas to get you started. You'll notice they are all under $50, and there are options for the special young gardeners on your gift list as well.
