Gardening Easter Basket
Easter baskets come in all shapes and sizes, and using your creativity to fill them is part of the fun. Wouldn’t the special Gardener in your life be thrilled to receive this Easter Basket?
Even though my boys are a bit older, I still create Easter Baskets for them. Doug and I were chatting recently about Easter and how sometimes the celebration of baskets filled with goodies are sometimes limited to only the kids. We began thinking of alternatives to what you might consider a traditional Easter basket. After a bit we decided it would be fun to put a gardening themed Easter basket together to give to that special gardener in your life.
Besides baking, one of my favorite past times, is gardening. My Mom and Dad were both avid gardeners, I received my love for gardening from them. We also have several family members and friends who love gardening.
Gardening Easter Basket Supplies
- MAINSTAYS 16 inch Wide Metal Coco Basket
- Expert Gardener Potting Soil
- Gerber Daisy
- Primrose Plants {3}
- Bonnie Plants Herbs {2} we bought Sweet Basil and Rosemary
- Midwest Gloves & Gear Gardening Gloves
- FERRY~MORSE Seeds
- FISKARS Fibercomp Trowel and Cultivator
- Chocolate Easter Bunny {optional}
We just placed all the plants in the basket and then tucked the extra supplies in around them. Add a bag of potting soil, so that your gardener has all the necessary supplies to dig in and get planting.
The fun thing is, this Gardening Basket is not limited to Easter time. Perhaps create one for Mom on Mother’s Day or Dad on Father’s Day. Really, any holiday will do, be create and you are sure to bring a smile to that special someone’s face!

Great basket! I have been know for my great themed baskets that I have been making for personal friends for years! Seems like everyone loves a great basket gift!
Great idea, I want to try it not just for Easter but how about birthdays etc.
I love this idea of an Easter Basket. Actually thinking outside the box on Easter Baskets is a great idea.
Thanks for sharing.

This Tuesday a group of women got together and made similar baskets. Actually, we bought lovely baskets from thrift stores, and plants from Walmart. We divided and shared the different plants, putting five varieties into plastic pots. We then put the pots into the baskets, and covered the soil and spaces with Spanish Moss. We then made some silk roses on sticks, and added Easter eggs on sticks to decorate our baskets. They were really inexpensive and just lovely.
Luv the pics little late for me this year but for next years easter I will be making some up for family and friends mainly my girls!!!
That’s an awesome idea…I’d love to receive something like that!!
That is so cool! I love to give people plants as gifts but I never thought about actually making them a gift basket so to speak.
Wonderful idea, and a lot better on the waistline too.
Very creative!
This is a very cute idea. I used to make giftbaskets and made one for gardners, but never used the actual basket you were planting in.
i would love to get a basket like this one. maybe i’ll send the link to my hubby! it would be a great mother’s day gift to put together.
Wow that’s a neat idea – you did a great job!
