Nature centers and public gardens feed butterflies by offering them sponges soaked in a nectar solution. Their beautiful glass flower serves up a sweet and nutritious meal that butterflies can’t resist. The 7″ blue-green speckled bowl has a spiral base that fits securely into the top of the iron stake, and the yellow mesh sponge gives beautiful butterflies a place to land.

Crush-proof nickel-plated couplings for a secure, hassle-free fit.
For reading, relaxing or snoozing, you can’t beat the “weightless” comfort of this lounger. The cool, mesh-like fabric attaches to the frame with a trampoline-like suspension system.

You can adjust the angle of the lounger to any position and lock in your favorite. Curved hardwood arms and an adjustable headrest complete the experience.

With their perky blossoms and crayon colors, tulips are always a happy sight. Plant a few of these tulip bouquets along your walk or in your garden beds and you’ll be smiling every evening as you pass by. Each of the five bouquets has six multicolored blossoms, atop pose-able “stems”. They’re linked together in a daisy-chain sequence, with 39″ of cord between each bouquet and a 32 ft. grounded cord at the end.

A twiggy steel nest complete with perches makes a cozy shelter for this nature-inspired birdbath. The clear crackle glass bowl inside holds 2 quarts of water—enough for the birds to take a refreshing dip and drink. Powder-coated steel with a footed base.
Twisting vines like morning glories and pole beans are perfectly suited to these tall, springy spiral plant supports.

(You can use this to grow cute flowers and plants, like I do.) The Black & Decker 18-volt cordless rechargeable garden cultivator is ideal for cultivating garden beds, landscape beds and weeding. This garden cultivator also preps beds for planting and prepping dry and dead spots for seeding. The 18 volts of power provide an effortless and quick way to weed and aerate soil. The long tines are small enough to maneuver in between plants and counter-oscillating tines prevent weeds from tangling. The telescoping shaft adjusts for the perfect length, allowing the user to operate it standing up without bending over. This upright design offers less fatigue while cultivating. The soft grips and adjustable auxiliary handle provide this power tool with maximum comfort.
This lushly illustrated and exhaustive gardening reference, an update to the 1989 original, is sure to gratify greenthumbs all around the U.S.: comprising three main sections (the plant selector, the plant catalogue and the plant dictionary), it’s an excellent resource for anyone looking to fashion a beautiful and environmentally sustainable garden. The plant selector points gardeners toward flora appropriate to their environmental or aesthetic needs (e.g., plants that do well in sandy or alkaline soil, make good windbreaks or have aromatic leaves), while the plant catalogue, organized into sections by type (perennials, shrubs, bulbs, water plants) and boasting thousands of photographs, delves into greater detail about the characteristics of individual species. Each section is helpfully organized by seasons of "interest" and plant size or color: the yellow asphodel is a medium yellow perennial that looks its best in spring, for instance, while Gentiana septemfida is a large blue rock plant whose best months are autumnal. The dictionary lists more than 8,000 plants, from abelia to creeping zinnia. For the garden enthusiast, this volume will likely prove as indispensable as a good trowel.
Many books claim to be a "definitive guide"; this is one title that happily lives up to those claims–and then some. Encyclopedia of Gardening will become your indispensable how-to manual for any plant-related topic. Indoors or out, you’ll find information on choosing and maintaining healthy plants of all varieties, how to build structures from greenhouses to trellises, ways to identify pests and diseases, and methods of garden design that enable you to turn your lawn into a unique and personal work of art.
Don’t let its good looks fool you; this tote is made of the same waterproof, easy-to-clean Neoprene as a wetsuit! It has six exterior pockets and lots of room inside for gloves, twine, pruners, markers and more.
We think Tubtrugs are one of the most useful gardening tools ever, so we could hardly wait to try out this new size. These flexible, lightweight polyethylene tubs are washable, bendable, crushable and nearly indestructible. This mid-size, 7-gallon Tubtrug is perfect for picking apples, collecting stones in the garden and holding groceries in the back of the car. With several Tubtrugs already hard at work at home and in the garden, we’ve had no problem finding uses for a few more!
