I’ve bought for everyone but my grandfather. He’s 82 and loves gardening and water gardening. Usually, I get him a bird feeder (he loves bird watching) or something that has to do with hummingbirds.

   How about a young tree? real gardeners take no notice of the fact that they will be long dead when a plant matures, I think when I am old if someone buys me that I will be very touched at the thought that it will live on after me. Of course you have to know how your grandfather will take the idea!
