Below you’ll find great gifts for senior gardeners that’ll help them overcome obstacles and continue to garden despite not being as young as they used to be.

It can be a little painful kneeling down so this thick kneeling pad should help.
This quality kneeling pad is available on Amazon, and you can get it in several different colors.

You can flip this upside down to use as a kneeling pad (and use the legs to help push yourself up), or you can use a seat.
Plus, it has pockets on the side for garden tools.

[We have one and we like it for removing weeds without bending over.]
6) Gardening Tools with Ergonomic Grips
Fiskars also makes gardening hand tools with ergonomic grips.
This set is available on Amazon.
7) Watering Wand for Hanging Baskets
A quick connect watering wand like this 33-inch wand with a “Gentle Rain Shower” head can make watering plants and hanging baskets easier.
8) Raised Garden Bed
Instead of having to bend over to get to the plants, a raised garden bed bring the plants to you.
You could make a raised garden bed for a senior gardener by screwing together some lumber, or you can buy a raised garden bed kit like the one shown above.
9) Lightweight Garden Hose
Consider a lightweight, kink-free garden hose for the senior gardener on your list.
Having a kinked hose can be so frustrating…and once they kink once, they seem prone to kinking again.
The one thing about this hose is that you need to be patient to allow the hose to expand once you turn the water on. As the hose gets pressurized with water it slinks and stretches as it expands…kind of looks like a snake. It’s weird looking, but it is a good lightweight hose.
10) Heirloom Seed Set
Check out this set of 50 pack of heirloom vegetable and herbs seed packets (non-GM). Pretty cool set for any gardener.
11) Indoor Garden Set
An indoor grow light set-up like this from GrowLED allows senior gardeners to pursuit their gardening passion inside during the winter, or if they’ve moved into a place with no outdoor gardening space.
I hope this list has helped.
