I agree with Marie.. How about a gift cert at his nearest Nursery? he's going to be looking at lots of different plants and stuff.. Or deliver him 20 bags of good potting soil!

Yeah he has it full of tomatoes. He already has the whizjammer that makes the vents open at a certain temperature too

I got my dad a Chia pet one year lol he actually used it too! I'd go over for supper, and he'd be watering it or "trimming the bush" the chia's bush

I enjoy it when my boys show up and we all go out for dinner or we BBQ or do something. that's kind of a cool gift...don't need anymore gifts to hang in the shed I like the things you can use up and then they're gone.

He sounds like he would like The Lee Valley store. I get a gift card from there every year and a mail order catalog. They have a lot of great unique products for carpentry, gardening, and a variety of other things. Even great toys.

My dad loves gardening as well, so rather than wait for Father's Day, I paid for all his bags of Miracle Grow potting soil, sea soil, and a bunch of vege seedlings and thornless raspberry plants. Better than another ugly tie

Gift card to a favorite restaurant usually is something a Dad will enjoy and use. You could make a fun gift basket, pick a theme like coffee and teas or movies or something he's into. For example a movie theme: DVD movies, popcorn, movie theater gift cards, homemade diabetic goodies to snack on.

So what did he get? I'm curious.

Does your Dad have the fans in his greenhouse that mist ????

A backup genny ? A new garden hose for his water supply ? Some barrels for rainwater ? New watering cans ?
Some shelving to store his ferts ? Bags of seed ? New sticks for his plants ?
