I'm planning to use part of my garden to grow plants that I can turn into gifts for birthdays and holidays. I'm open to options that are edible, like ingredients for food or drinks, as well as craft items. I'm looking for more than just meal recipes, so ideas like condiments, syrups, or seasonings would be perfect.

I often give away dried catnip, which is a fun niche gift! You might also look into creating a tea garden or growing herbs and garlic for flavorful olive oil. Plus, if you're into gardening, consider planting native flowers for their seeds!
You can't go wrong with basil and hot peppers! Every year, we whip up and gift frozen pesto and homemade hot sauces, and they’re always a hit!
Herbs are an awesome choice! They’re super easy to grow and can be used in so many ways. Think about rosemary and mint, which offer great scents and can enhance both food and drinks. For crafty options, consider growing loofahs or gourds—like birdhouse gourds, which are fun to DIY into birdhouses!
Those are great suggestions! I love the idea of a tea garden!
