We've got a little something for everyone here -- gifts for teachers and 2-year-olds, gardeners and those with black-thumbs.  Even stocking stuffers!

Drum roll, please!



Check out our "Emeritus Gift List" for those classic gifts we've retired from our Top 10 list.  They're classics for a reason...


 

10. Fairy Garden "Starter Kit" -- $24.99

Who knew landscaping could be this easy?  With our fairy garden starter kit, you receive an arbor, wheelbarrow, snazzy fence, and a couple of tools.  Placed outside, directly in the ground or in a pot, fairies are guaranteed to come.

Our fairy garden plants and accessories are a great way to introduce little ones to gardening, and mature gardeners enjoy them, too.

Currently in stock: Tiny live Christmas trees, perfect for year-round fairy and/or container gardens.  About 8" tall.  (The fairies love them.)


9. St. Louis Herb Society's "How to Grow Herbs in the Midwest" -- $9.99 (+20% off for VIG members!)

It's out of print, but we've got a nice stash of these books from the St. Louis Herb Society.  This detailed and informative guide tells you how to grow, propagate, maintain, and harvest your herbs.

Contains a photo catalog of more than 35 pages of herbs, along with a description of how to use each herb.

Grab a rosemary plant while you're here and make it a theme gift.  Throw in a vintage-inspired apron, or some herb plant markers. 

 


8. Soji Solar Lantern -- $39.99

This solar lantern is fun and fantastic and the kind of thing a girl might not buy herself, so fellas, pay attention!

Their effect in the evening garden is quite enchanting.  A couple of the Sugar Creek girls have them in their yards and now won't live without them.

And you can't get easier -- or cheaper -- than solar.  Hang this lamp outside and you're done -- simply enjoy...
 


7. Cast Iron Dragonfly or Frog "Key Hider" -- $15.99 and $4.99

About 6" long but big in presence -- it is cast iron, after all -- this cute "key hider" is great on a book shelf or tucked next to your front porch.  A smaller frog version is available, too.

 

 

 

 


6. Clean Pigs! -- $24.99

We love theme gifts, and this clean pigs combo is original and perfect for a kid or collector.

The pig soap holder is about 8" tall and made of cast iron.  It can be used in a bathroom or as a work of art (hey, you haven't seen my brother's house).  :)

You can add a pig soap for $4.99, and a piggy nail brush for $2.99. 


5. Sugar Creek Gardens' T-Shirt -- His and Hers -- $19.99

A Sugar Creek t-shirt is the ultimate garment in femininity and manliness -- just check out the adorable models in the picture -- and it saves you money. 

Wear your t-shirt into the nursery and save 10% off every purchase.  Wear it in August and save 25% off every purchase.

Wear it anytime to make a serious fashion statement -- it says "I'm a gardener and I support this local awesome gardening establishment."

 

 


 


4. Tabletop Bird Feeders -- $11.99 - $29.99

We've got several varieties of these small, tabletop bird feeders.  They're also shallow enough for water, and a great way to attract wildlife to your deck or back porch.

Ceramic and cast iron varieties available. 

Don't let Tina near these -- she'll plant them up as tiny fairy gardens....


3. Colorful Elephant Watering Cans -- $10.99

Every kid who walks into our gift shop heads straight for these watering cans. 

They're guaranteed fun and a great way to get your little one outside and into gardening.  Great for big kids, too.


2. Fuzzy White Owl Ornament -- $6.99

Be honest -- don't you smile when you look at that owl?  He (or she) is only 6 inches tall and can be used as an ornament or as a friend anywhere in your house.

We're including him on our list in honor of Persy, the Sugar Creek Gardens owl (who is currently on sabbatical). 

Believe or not, he (or she) is cuter in person. 

 

 

 

 

 


1.  Sugar Creek Gardens Gift Certificate -- 10% off in December, PLUS each recipient receives a free garden consultation


Give one as a gift, and get one for yourself (we won't tell!). 

 

And yes, they're 10% off throughout December -- you do the math!
