Gardening is not only a getaway for the soul — it's also a mood booster and a great workout. That's why it's only appropriate to show a hard-working plant mom how much they mean to you with some new gloves and tools. From stylish sun hats to pruners and fruit pickers, these products are not only useful but thoughtful gifts, too.
If she's recently upgraded her patio furniture, she'll be especially eager to get her landscaping up to par with some new gardening tools. You'll be first on the list to reap the benefits of her fruit and vegetable harvest this year. And the best part? She'll think of you are every time she steps out into the garden.

1 Terrarium
Smith & Hawken™ Recycled Glass/Wood Terrarium Blue ($40)
This modern glass terrarium is the perfect vessel for housing delicate succulents and textural moss for a centerpiece that will last much longer than flowers. Try personalizing it by creating one for her and even adding in a crystal or other small trinkets.
2 Short-Handled Tool Set
Smith & Hawken™ 3pc Aluminum Pruner, Cultivator, and Trowel Gardening Set ($25)
This cute floral set is made from rust-proof metal and has everything she needs for pruning shrubs, mixing and cleaning soil. She'll want to keep this good-looking set on display on her potting station instead of tucking them away in a drawer.
3 Watering Globes
Plant Watering Globes ($25)
These decorative glass watering globes automatically ensure that plants stay hydrated, even when she travels for up to two weeks. For larger plants, she can add extra globes. They're also convenient for harder to reach hanging pots, so that she doesn't have to grab a stool to water them everyday.
4 Garden Seed Box
Powder-Coated Steel Seed Storage Tin ($42)
She can keep her precious seeds contained in one spot with this vintage-inspired tin box. The powder-coated steel is sleek and sturdy, so her seeds will stay dry and safe. We love the detail of the beach wood handle, and of course, that pretty shade of olive green.
5 Garden Tool Set With Tote and Folding Seat
H> Garden Kneeler and Seat ($50, originally $70)
If she gets tired while kneeling to weed and plant, she can save her knees, back, and pants with this garden kneeler and seat. It has a bonus tool pouch, so she can keep all of her gardening tools close by. It's durable but lightweight, weighing less than six pounds, so she can tout it around the entire yard.
6 Sun Hat
Cotton Crusher Hat ($36)
Forget about sunburns, this sun hat has gardeners covered. The over-sized bucket shape is handmade from lightweight, breathable cotton and comes in eight different colors. It even has UPF 50 sun protection and an inner drawstring to easily adjust to the perfect fit.
7 Garden Bucket Caddy
Fiskars Garden Bucket Caddy ($13)
Tools can be easily housed in this bucket caddy. The handle makes it easy to carry all of your tools together and the pocket belt is made from sturdy polyester so it's easy to wipe down and won't rip.
8 Fruit Picker
DIIG Fruit Picker ($24)
If your mom has fruit trees, this picker will come in handy for grabbing ripe fruit that's out of reach. Instead of dragging a ladder, this fruit picker can reach up to eight feet. All she has to do is secure the fruit between the prongs and gently pull it to pick and collect fruit in the basket attachment.
9 Plant Mister
Cut Glass Plant Mister ($15, originally $20)
This plant mister is so pretty, your plant-loving mom will want to put it on display. If she has a vintage aesthetic and loves tropical houseplants that benefit from humidity, she'll definitely appreciate this.
10 Garden Gloves
Floral Garden Weeder Gloves ($16)
These floral print garden gloves are not only pretty but can also handle the toughest weeds. They're from Womanswork, a woman-owned company founded in 1985. They designed the first work gloves made to fit a woman's hand and are known for having fantastic sets.
11 Long Garden Gloves
Long Floral Garden Gloves ($40)
The extra length on these gardening gloves protects arms and keeps hands clean. They have an adjustable belt at the wrist to ensure they fit well and a synthetic leather palm for added grip. The pretty floral pattern is just the icing on the cake.
12 Gardening Apron
Garden Waist Apron ($50)
Pair her floral garden gloves with a stylish apron that can hold her tools and seeds. This one has deep pockets in the front and a smaller pocket, so she can also keep her phone handy.
13 Garden Clogs
Hunter Garden Clogs ($86, originally $95)
These practical gardening clogs are great for slipping on and off. They're comfy, durable, and waterproof. The nonslip rubber outsole also provides them with extra traction, so you don't have to worry about slipping on wet surfaces.
14 Moisture Meter
XLUX Soil Moisture Meter ($13, originally $25)
This moisture meter is great at predicting when indoor plants need to be watered next. Just stick this meter into the soil and to instantly see the test results. No more overwatering and drying out plants.
15 Expanding Telescopic Rake
Tabor Tools Adjustable Metal Rake ($32)
She'll avoid painful backaches with this expandable rake. The rake's teeth extend from eight to 23 inches wide and lock in any position in between. It's handy for getting in smaller areas like in between flower beds. Its adjustable shape also means it's easy to store.
