    Hi All,

    As a teacher who teaches gardening (either traditional or hydroponics), what would be a useful gift that you would really like to receive? I work for Green Our Planet, and we want to include something durable, useful, and brandable in our next set of hydroponics system shipments. Any and all ideas are welcome. Thank you!

    I love the gardening sleeves from Farmer's Defense.  They act as a protectant against sun, keep my arms cool and stop me from getting scratched or irritated by plants. And they are super fun patters that the kids love.

    Hello!

    When I think about gardening I always think about putting on a hat. I also love a good pair of gardening gloves. I just replaced mine, and durability and flexibility seem hard to find at a good price point. Another idea might be a fun garden stake that explains what is growing.

    For hydroponics a small pitcher that can be used to refill the system.  I would also like something that could be used to clean the systems, maybe small scouring brush or small bottles of cleaner?  A bucket where all can be housed and also used to soak or clean the parts?  Those were things that I thought would be useful based on using the smaller units in my classroom last year.

    I love Farmer's Defense gardening sleeves - maybe have them put your logo on some for distribution?  Also, i wish there was a simple, easy to use perpetual calendar kind of thing for timing harvests and tasks by plant/crop variety. like a chart with slideable crops

    I'd say a high-quality, branded garden tool set would be super useful and durable. Maybe throw in a snazzy apron with pockets for all those tools and a cool Green Our Planet logo!

    If I was a teacher who teaches gardening I would love to receive high quality tools, seed kits or some flower pots.

    A hat, apron, or gloves would be great.

    I love the idea of an apron with multiple pockets for extra pens, a cell phone with a snap or velcro so it doesn't fall out, and a pair of gloves and small pruners.  It's hard to juggle all this when helping children in the garden, but they always seem to be needed.

    Hello,

    I love grading, A practical and appreciated gift for gardening teachers, whether traditional or hydroponics, could be a set of high-quality gardening tools like stainless steel trowels or pruners. Tools such as precision pruners, nutrient measuring devices, or pH testers branded with Green Our Planet could be both practical for daily use and a great way to promote your organization.
