Alternatively, a seed starter kit with biodegradable pots, soil disks, and a greenhouse cover can be a great option for beginner gardeners.

5. Botanical Garden Membership: Consider giving your dad the gift of a membership to a local botanical garden or arboretum. This will provide him with access to a beautiful and diverse range of plants, resources, and events. It's a wonderful opportunity for him to connect with fellow gardening enthusiasts and deepen his love for botanical gardening.
