I’m a card-carrying plant lover. Some might even say I’m a plant hoarder.
To the masses, I’m the author of three best-selling books on plant care and plant styling, co-owner of green neighbor, a plant shop located in Hampden, and a plant stylist on a series on the Magnolia Network called, “Guide to Houseplants”.
So yeah, if you’re looking for a gift for that plant lover in your life, I might have a good sense of what might be on their wishlist.
The list I’ve put together here ranges from the best plants, planters and accessories that a plant lover needs to the items I personally would want in my own collection. As the owner of a plant shop and a creative with my own line of products, there will be a few items on my list from green neighbor and my site. But of course I’ve included items from local shops and makers that I think will make the perfect gifts for that plant parent on your list.
Here are 10 gifts for that plant lover in your life:
Planters by Cay Ceramics
Price: Starting at $45
I love everything that Caylynn creates and having the ability to request a custom planter from her is worth it. Of course you’re paying more for a custom job but it’s something that will separate the look and feel of your home from others out there.
