Gifts for Gardeners


Another growing season has come and gone here.  Now is the time to start thinking about Holiday gifts.  What do you get the gardener that has everything?
.
Apply to have their yard listed as a Certified Wildlife Habitat through the National Wildlife Federation.   It costs approximately $20.  You get a certificate personalized with your name and habitat ID number and a free one-year subscription to National Wildlife magazine.  You can purchase an attractive, 9"x12", outdoor plaque for an additional $30.

Any monarch lovers out there?
Then I'm betting your garden will easily qualify as a monarch waystation.  You can certify your garden (or a friend's) as a Certified Monarch Waystation through Monarch Watch at the University of Kansas.  This will place your waystation on a registry where you can download information and share pictures of your garden.  You will receive a personalized certificate and Waystation ID number.  It costs $16 to get certified. You can purchase an attractive, 9"x12", outdoor plaque for an additional $17.  If you want both, the cost to certify a garden AND get a weatherproof sign shipped will cost approximately $40.
