Grow with KARE: Last minute gifts for gardeners

Christmas is right around the corner but there is still time to get a great gift for the gardener in your life!

We asked Bachman's, the Minnesota Horticulture Society, and the U of M Landscape Arboretum to send us three of their favorite last minute gifts for the gardener and this is what they came up with.

Bachman's gifts-

Burgeon and Ball Gift Set and Kneelo

Endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, this gift set is decorated with the elegance of Chinese watercolors and features tools engineered to the highest quality standards. Stainless steel heads are durable and rust-resistant. Presented in a beautiful and stylish box, this set makes an easy and thoughtful gift for your favorite gardener.
