Today's free garden gift tags and garden gift ideas are a delicious way to wrap up summertime. You can bless your friends and neighbors with some good things, too! Plus, it's a great way to dress up gifts in a budget-friendly manner.

Step up your garden gifts with these sweet little tags. If you're like me, I'm usually shoving tomatoes into a plastic grocery sack and hanging them on the neighbors' door handles. I thought it might be nice to actually package everything in a cute way that will make the gift that much more enjoyable. Download these free printable garden gift tags below...and be sure to check out my favorite garden gift ideas, too.

It's also Thrifty Style Team day! My talented friends have all shared some wonderful home decor ideas below. While my garden tags aren't exactly decor, they are still a thrifty way to gift something from your garden...and style it up a bit!

I made these simple garden gift tags in black and white, so they won't use too much of your ink. They have a little house in the middle of the tag that is blooming with garden goodness.

My Backyard Garden

The garden (pictured above) has been good to me this year, especially lately. Although my tomatoes left a lot to be desired up until a week or so ago, *almost* everything else seems to have done pretty well...especially my flowers! So, it's time to start harvesting and gifting (my favorite part!). Although we use a lot of the vegetables and flowers in our own home, I try to plant extra to give to friends and neighbors. Homegrown gifts are as much appreciated as homemade ones!

I started a flower cutting garden about a year and a half ago when I wasn't able to get to the stores much with everything happening (and I just love fresh flowers in the house). It ended up being so wonderful last year, that I tripled its size this year. It provides our home with endless bouquets and I just love it. I also love that it gives me plenty to share, too. Most of my neighbors are a bit older and don't get out. They're absolutely adorable when I drop off a jar of zinnias on their doorstep. 

And my fruits and veggies definitely round out my garden, with plenty to share, as well.

I ditched the plastic grocery sacks and bought these fun (and budget-friendly) berry baskets to give away veggies. They really stepped up the garden-gifting game. 

You can grab these same baskets here on Amazon.

Garden Gift Ideas

Below are some of my favorite ways to share my garden's bounty.

• flowers in jelly jars (we save our Bonne Maman jars after they're empty...they make cute vases)
• vegetables in the little berry baskets
• herbs tucked into paper treat bags
• olive oil infused with herbs
• sugar scrubs made with herbs (lavender is the best!)
• fresh garden salsa 
• a cutting or two for others to start their own plants
• homemade pickles from cucumbers (or anything that you are able to can from the garden)
• I've also created little baskets with tomatoes, fresh oregano, and basil and tucked in a printable recipe card with a tomato sauce recipe on it. 
• seeds saved from my favorite varieties of plants so the plant can live on in another few gardens

Kitchen Gift Tags

If you're more of a "gifts from the kitchen" rather than "gifts from the garden" sort (or maybe you're both!), you might also enjoy my Free Printable Gift Tags for Food Gifts (pictured above). These tags are over on my other blog, Print Pretty Cards. 

Printing and Using Your Garden Gift Tags

Supplies:

• white letter-sized cardstock (grab it here on Amazon)
• hole punch (I recommend this smaller 1/8" hole punch so it doesn't take away from the design.)
• twine
• I used black and white baker's twine to coordinate with the tag, but regular jute twine would work, too.
• scissors or paper cutter (I love my Fiskars Paper Trimmer to make quick work of cuts.)
• Plus, the berry baskets from Amazon if you're gifting your veggies inside them.

Directions:

• Download your tags below.
• Print onto letter-sized white cardstock.
• Trim, loop with twine, and tie to your gift. I wrapped my twine around my berry basket like a present bow. 
• There is also space on the bottom of the tag, if you'd like to include your name (as pictured below)
