Starting a garden online is an easier way to find container-grown plants that can be thoughtful, practical gifts for gardeners, cooks and plant lovers for the winter. Mojito mint, bay laurel, oregano, thyme and rosemary are fragrant herbs that can be a good addition to a home garden for fresh herb fragrant use or culinary purposes. If you want to include your own food ingredients, these are easy plants to choose for a recipient. Color Guard yucca is a showy plant with contrasting color foliage that has sword-shaped leaves for gardeners who appreciate ornamental plants. Other rosemary varieties, such as ARP rosemary and Huntington Carpet rosemary will also provide a beautiful silvery-green foliage, as well as a lovely fragrance and garden interest. When buying plants from an online garden nursery, check the plant size, the type of containers it comes in, its sun needs, water requirements and its growing requirements. Wrap the original container in a protective bag or wrap if it's going to be wrapped up as a gift so that moisture doesn't escape from the container. Cover with burlap, decorative paper or festive ribbon for a good presentation and to keep the plant safe during gifting.
