Gardening Gifts for the Working Girl and Working Mom

We all would love to have a huge garden that would supply our kitchens with endless organic food throughout every season.  Those of us who are city girls might not have a huge amount of space to grow that endless huge garden.  Working girls and working moms just don't have the time to devote to a large garden and the upkeep involved!  So we've found several items over the last year that are perfect gifts for the working girl/working mom in your life who wants to get their hands dirty gardening and to supply her kitchen with some home grown produce, vegetables and herbs. Perfect gifts for the gardener or gardener-wanna-be in your life!



Designing the New Kitchen Garden: An American Potager Handbook by Jennifer Bartley

We love Designing the New Kitchen Garden: An American Potager Handbook by Jennifer Bartley. List Price: $34.95 ON SALE $21.91 To quote the author, a Potager Garden is "a year round kitchen garden whose purpose is to supply fresh vegetables and herbs on a daily basis." This wonderful book provides information on the history of potager gardens in Europe and kitchen gardens in the United States.  The second part of the book goes into great detail on how to design and build your own Potager Garden.  The author also gives a great reference list of herbs and vegetables to plant in the Spring, Summer and Autumn.





How could we recommend Designing the New Kitchen Garden: An American Potager Handbook without recommending Jennifer Bartley's companion book The Kitchen Gardener's Handbook.  List Price $22.95 ON SALE for $15.61. This book supplements the first with detailed information on the types of vegetables, herbs, fruits and flowers to plant in the potager garden you designed using the first book.  Jennifer includes plants for all four seasons: spring, summer, fall and winter.  This book serves as an excellent reference book on how to plant, grow, and maintain your potager/kitchen garden.  The author also includes some potager/kitchen garden designs you can modify easily to your front and back yard. We LOVE the design she created for the Edible Front Yard.   She has truly created a front yard that is beautiful throughout all four seasons and also provides food and flowers for your table.  For those working girls and working moms out there, what more can you love?  Design, form and function all in one!


Bogs Women's Boots Retail Price: $76.99


Every working girl/working mom needs a pair of Bogs! If you are gardening, running to work in the snow/rain, taking the dog for a walk, or corralling the kids you will love your pair of Bogs Boots.  They are always warm, waterproof and stylish.  They come in multiple colors, designs, and heights.  There is a perfect Bogs for every woman!  You will love them from the day you put them on!





Sloggers Garden Shoes

Sloggers Garden Shoes Retail Price: $34.99 ON SALE: $20.26

These "garden" shoes are fantastic.  Perfect to use in the garden, perfect to run to the store, perfect to run errands.  100% waterproof, easily hosed/wiped off, and comes in a multitude of colors and patterns. Every working girl/working mom can find a pair that fits their personality and needs.  We wear ours ALL the time!  You'll get a ton of complements and they are very comfortable to boot!
