Father's Day is just around the corner, and I know that I've been thinking about what to send my dad. That's him (with my brother) in the photo above, tilling his garden and planting potatoes. My dad's always been an amazing gardener, but he likes to kick it next to the garden as well, after he gets his planting or weeding finished. With him in mind, I rounded up a bunch of gifts to satisfy any backyard- or garden-oriented dad out there. Whether your pop likes to plant perennials, oil the cedar deck, hack away at the foliage, or just settle in a lawn chair with a cold one, I've got him covered. Check out the ShopStyle Living spread below to see if anything strikes you as a good Father's Day gift for your dad.

Cute picture and great ideas!
1Yea for sure!
2My dad LOVES helping my mom out in the garden - well gardening did USE to be a gentlemen's hobby - and I am sure she loves the help too
I love that picture
3I just cringed when I saw the barefoot guy next to the tiller. I try to talk my dad out of wearing flip flops to mow the yard. But yay for the guy actually pushing the tiller wearing work boots
4CoralAmber--yep, my brother seems to take every opportunity he can to take off his shirt AND shoes (he's rarely allowed in gas stations). Luckily though, he was just planting, not doing anything that close to the tiller. Tiller blades are just too sharp!
5My three sisters and I are getting my dad a strawberry pot, filling it with a bunch of brightly colored, full sun flowers and maybe a little cactus-like shrub and painting it with little sayings or pictures that remind us of him!
I got the idea from a recent issue of container gardening, http://www.marthastewart.com/article/planting-a-strawberry-pot.
6Great ideas! My dad loves to garden!
