Are you or a loved one suffering from a green thumb? If so, you may be entitled to compensation in the form of something from this list of Amazon garden gifts. Green thumb is a serious diagnosis linked to frequent exposure to the Home Depot gardening center, and it can be exacerbated by having a yard or being a retiree. While there’s no cure, there are several things that can improve outcomes for people with a green thumb diagnosis. We recommend stocking up on useful hand tools for digging holes, protective apparel like sun hats and gardening gloves, and propagation equipment for sprouting seedlings indoors that will eventually get transplanted to an outdoor garden. Please, don’t wait. The sooner you consult this gift guide full of practical and discounted gardening equipment, the sooner your life with green thumb can begin to improve.
Jokes aside, there really is a lot of great gardening stuff for sale on Amazon right now, perfect for beginner gardeners, mid-season equipment updates, or even gift ideas for friends and family. Check out our picks of the best discounted items below.
Tools
This is one of the best gifts possible for people dealing with dense clay soil. A hand pick is essential for quick and efficient tilling where a typical shovel might fail.
This weeding device looks like a small hair comb, but its tiny blades are perfect for getting those pesky weeds nestled between sidewalk seams.
A hori hori, as I’ve written before, is like an entire garden tool kit in one individual tool. It’s a trowel, a weeder, a hoe—it can even measure depth for planting.
This particular watering can is our product test winner. It’s comfortable to hold and has a fine spray for more delicate plants.

An ergonomic watering wand gives you a range of spray settings and provides additional reach that’s perfect for hanging baskets and hard-to-reach areas.
Clothes
Slip-on gardening clogs are great, but these shoes grip firmly around the ankle, preventing dirt and debris from getting into your shoes.
If you’re like me, your favorite gardening attire is a nasty old T-shirt you don’t mind getting dirty. A harvest apron like this makes up for the lack of pockets, with ample storage for tools or for harvesting vegetables from your garden.
Sun protection is essential in the yard. A sun hat is obviously never a bad idea.
Long gloves are quintessential plant lady attire, but they aren’t just for aesthetics. Pruning large roses requires a lot of deep reaching, and you need full protection to make it out unscratched.
Plants and Planters

These sleek planters are an appealing choice for outdoor and indoor plants alike.
Garden Vibes
While the bulk of these Amazon garden gifts are meant to be highly practical, there’s more to gardening than the work itself. When you’re ready to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor, there’s no better way to kick back than in a hand-woven hammock.
Outdoor summer dining is not without its pests. While there are a lot of ways to manage mosquitos and flies, one temporary solution that’s surprisingly effective is to get the air moving with a powerful fan.
