The holidays are here, and our shopping lists are filled with the names of friends and family. Shop local this year and find them something special at Swansons Nursery. Need some inspiration? Here are the gifts we’re excited about this year. The list includes some classics and new finds; gifts to delight the gardeners and plant-lovers in our lives.
Red Canoe Insect Shelter
Our gardens are a complex ecosystem of flora and fauna. At their strongest, they host a wide range of beneficial organisms. Help keep your garden habit healthy by encouraging beneficial insects with this charming insect shelter. Shelters offer warm, dry chambers, and a refuge from predators, helping populations return strong in spring. They’re a great educational tool for families as well: see who moves in, learn about insect life cycles, and foster appreciation for the tiny species that keep gardens functioning.
Colorful Houseplant Shears
Your indoor garden deserves a stylish pair of shears. These colorful trimmers are the perfect size for indoor plants, ideal for trimming leaves or light pruning. Our houseplant expert keeps a pair in her apron at all times!
Nutscene Garden Twine
Soft, pliable, and strong, this British garden twine comes in unique colors and is indispensable for all kinds of garden projects. It’s much more fun than regular old twine and makes a great stocking stuffer.
Around the World Books
Join Jonathan Drori on a trip around the world and discover the intimate connections between plants and human history, folklore, and culture. The stories are complemented by the beautiful illustrations of Lucille Clerc. A thoughtful gift for plant lovers and book lovers.
Indoor Bulb Kits
Indoor bulb kits offer a burst of color and fragrance when we PNWesterners need it most - winter. Our kits contain everything needed to grow fragrant bulb centerpieces in your home. Choose from a variety of flowers, including amaryllis, paperwhites, and more. A great host gift!
Hori Hori Japanese Weeder Knife
This multipurpose tool is the first one we at Swansons reach for in the garden. Excellent for weeding, dividing plants, digging small holes, measuring bulb depth, and so much more. Made to last. We can’t recommend it enough.
Nourishing Soap and Hand Cream
Pamper the gardening in your life with these deliciously scented soaps and hand creams from British company Toasted Crumpet Designs. Each soap bar is 100% triple-milled and made with traditional methods using pure vegetable oil. The hand cream is enriched with Shea Butter, Aloe Vera & Vitamin E to soften and moisturize.
Delightful Bird Houses
The birds deserve to nest in style. Add rustic charm with the Settler and the Mountain Cabin bird houses. Or, keep the holiday spirit alive with the Candy Cane Lane bird house - it also makes an adorable indoor holiday decoration when paired with one of our popular bird ornaments.
Greenhouse Ornaments
These lovely glass greenhouse ornaments are complete with tiny renderings of plants and tools. Go festive with a winter holiday scene or decorate your tree with a reminder of warm summer days spent in the garden.
Garden Statuary
These locally made statues are hand-cast in Leavenworth by Greenman Stone and add just the right touch of whimsy to the garden.
