2016 Nature and Garden Enthusiast Gift Guide

My wife is a wildlife biologist, I volunteer extensively for conservation non-profits, and we've taken birding trips from coast to coast. I am particularly proud of our backyard where we have filled it with birdfeeders and habitat for nature. This is why the gift guide for nature lovers is filled with products that my family and I have owned and loved for ourselves. I have focused on gifts that bring birds, plants, and nature to your yard. Whether you are a hardcore gardener, a bird lover, or just enjoy watching hummingbirds, there are gifts for everyone who appreciates nature here.
