My dad loves gardening as well, so rather than wait for Father's Day, I paid for all his bags of Miracle Grow potting soil, sea soil, and a bunch of vege seedlings and thornless raspberry plants. Better than another ugly tie

Gift card to a favorite restaurant usually is something a Dad will enjoy and use. You could make a fun gift basket, pick a theme like coffee and teas or movies or something he's into. For example a movie theme: DVD movies, popcorn, movie theater gift cards, homemade diabetic goodies to snack on.

Does your Dad have the fans in his greenhouse that mist ????

A backup genny ? A new garden hose for his water supply ? Some barrels for rainwater ? New watering cans ?
Some shelving to store his ferts ? Bags of seed ? New sticks for his plants ?

Oooh, he doesn't have those <runs to google them>


The best things I could think of were a remote thermometer so he could monitor the temperature from the house. He already has those louvered vents that open at a certain temperature but he likes watching that kind of stuff. Now if they had an app for his phone, he'd love that

The other thing was a mug with his grandsons pic on it, kind of boring but thats the best I could do, probly too late for that as I haven't gotten it made yet

Give him a reef tank and then tell him it's a greenhouse for corals. Something for him to do indoors during the off season.
