Frog Prince Statue - $29.98 [ Link ]
I'm not a fan of garden gnome statues, but I love my frog prince. My frog sits proudly in our front flower bed. He serves an important purpose: He protects my plants from the garden hose!

Residential Grade 4-Wheel Garden Hose Reel Cart With 250-Foot-Hose Capacity - $144.99 [ Link ]
I don't know about you, but I hate wrestling with the garden hose. I also don't like being "tethered" to one tap or spigot in the yard. This garden hose reel is pretty awesome if you ask me; I mean, check out those tires!

SpringJet 50-Foot 1/4-Inch Polyurethane Coil Hose And Wand Set, Blue - $24.99 [ Link ]
I'm short. I have hanging plants. A 5-foot tall gal trying to water hanging plants with a watering can leads to disaster (for me, not the plant). This 50-foot coiled hose & wand set is on my wish list. Now I can water my plants and not get soaking wet! Best part? It can be used indoors and outdoors.
by Amazon
Picnic & Beyond Garden Tools Carry Bag With Accessories - $43.99 [ Link ]
I'll admit it, my gardening tools and accessories are never easy to find. Nothing gets put back in the same place. A tool bag like this would alleviate the frustration of having to find my gloves, spade and clippers.
by Amazon
Brinno Garden Watch Time Lapse Camera - $159.99 [ Link ]
A time lapse camera for your garden? Amazing! This would be a great gift for that special "green thumb" in your life. I love that you're able to literally watch your garden grow.

Eight Layer Plant Herb Drying Rack Hanging Net - $29.95 [ Link ]
I grow my own herbs, but I've never even thought about drying them for later use. This is an eight-layer drying rack that's great for herbs and flowers. Not only is it functional, but it also saves on space because it collapses for easy storage.
by The LA Shop
Gardening Accessories Wooden Box Kit - $18.99 [ Link ]
I love this little caddy filled with gardening accessories like ties, clips, raffia, plant markers, etc. It's chock full of those miscellaneous gardening items you might not think you need until you need them. This would make a great gift too!
by Collections Etc.
Petite Wire Utility Basket - $16.00 [ Link ]
Can you ever have too many baskets? If you garden a lot like I do, you need something to help carry your flowers and veggies. I love the look of this wire basket and appreciate its versatility.
by Terrain
Fingerless Gloves - $14.00 [ Link ]
Guess what? I own three pairs of gardening gloves, but I don't wear them. Why? I feel like I am better able to pull weeds and pick veggies using my bare hands. These fingerless gloves would be a great addition to my gardening tool kit.
by Terrain
Gate Sign - $14.00 [ Link ]
I need this sign for our gate! I feel like I'm always reminding my children and our guests to make sure our gate is closed so our Boston terriers don't escape.
by Terrain
Slate Plant Labels - $18.00 [ Link ]
I have yet to find the perfect garden marker, but these slate picks look like they'll do the trick. They come with a washable marker, so you can reuse them season after season.
by Terrain
Block Planter Stand With 3 Harlan Planters - $149.00 [ Link ]
I love the look of this plant stand. This would be a great item to have to start a small container garden. It's also perfect for those who are tight on outdoor space.
by Crate&Barrel
Amira Hanging Birdbath Holder - $39.95 [ Link ]
As much as I would love to put a bird bath in my yard, I know it would get knocked over. But this hanging bird bath can be hung from a tree branch or hook.
by Crate&Barrel
Thick Premium Vinyl Garden Kneeling Pads - $10.39 [ Link ]
When I get in the yard to weed a flower bed or pick veggies, I spend a lot of time hunched over. I pay for it the next day with a sore back. I need to invest in a couple of kneeling pads. I love the fun color choices of these.
by Amazon
Safe Guard Straw Hat, Natural - $12.99 [ Link ]
Every avid gardener needs a good straw hat to shield their faces from the sun's rays. I love that this hat includes a chin strap, that way you're not spending your gardening time chasing your hat across the yard.
by Sears
Sloggers Women's Midsummer Blue Gardening Clogs - $28.49 [ Link ]
I love, love, love my gardening clogs! They protect my feet and keep me from ruining yet another pair of sneakers.
by Overstock
Waist Apron - $10.00 [ Link ]
I would have never thought to wear an apron while gardening, but you know what? It makes sense! Use the apron's pockets to carry your tools, seed packets, etc. This frees up your hands and keeps you from misplacing the tools you're working with.
by Katz Garden Gloves
Kyoto 75-Gallon Rain Barrel, Sandstone Finish - $149.99 [ Link ]
A rain barrel is on my wish list. This is an economical way to water plants, especially in the warmer months if your area has water restrictions. Of course, a rain barrel isn't useful if there is a drought, but it is nice to know that if and when it does rain you'll at least have some water for your garden.
by Amazon
PVC Pop-Up Garden Bag - $20.99 [ Link ]
When my husband and I garden, we lug around a 55-gallon yard bag. It gets cumbersome and, sometimes, it splits open on us. I love the idea of using a popup-style bag or bin instead. It's easier to manage and it can be used time and time again.
by Aubuchon Hardware
"The Week-by-Week Vegetable Gardener's Handbook" - $14.95 [ Link ]
Gardening isn't rocket science, but it can be a daunting task — especially for a novice gardener. I wish we had a book like this years ago when we started sprouting seeds for our vegetable garden.

janet4784 Word of warning on hoses...lead is leached out from almost all of them. Look for lead-free or 100% rubber hoses. It's important not only for being able to drink from them, but also for the health of plants and the environment.

retromomma Love the post. Especially like the slate garden markers-we just recycled some cedar paneling we put up in a guest bath(looks like a scan sauna) as markers but glad to see this idea for my planter pots!
