Gardening Themes Popular in Crafts

Since gardening has become so popular this year, with more people raising gardens during this time of economic slowdown, it only seems natural that gardening themes are of interest in crafts.  How can you incorporate this into what you’re doing…just for fun or for making items to sell? 

What can you make or create?

• Wall hanging quilts with gardening themes.
• Cookbooks with recipes for the produce from the garden.  Perhaps you’ll add your own artwork.  (This also can be made in e-book format.)
• Gardening aprons or kitchen aprons with fruit and vegetable designs.
• Gardening smocks and t-shirts.  Screen print designs on them.
• Gardening journal for recording planting, harvesting, and gardening fun ideas.  You can add your sketches or encourage the journalist to do this.
• Quilt with photos from a family’s gardening activities…this year or previous ones.  It can be a gardening memory quilt.
