Prescribe a Little Nature’s Rx for Dad
PHILADELPHIA (PRWEB) May 23, 2018 -- Dads are always looking for fun, outdoor activities to share with their family. Enter gardening.
Here are products that make any busy dad’s life better:
1. The right tool for the job: A well-pruned plant not only looks better and blooms more, but it is healthier too. Centurion Brand Pro-Adjustable Bypass Pruner ($14.99) cuts through any size branch, making pruning a snap and Dad look like a hero. The new bypass pruner features adjustable large or small grip sizes for cutting branches up to 1-inch thick. With just a flip of the switch, snip thin or heavy branches easily. Perfect for a variety of cutting and pruning jobs, it features precision ground high carbon steel blades that are non-stick for smooth cutting.

2. Compost Tumbler: What better gift for the eco-friendly dad than a compost tumbler? Composting enriches soil, saves water and reduces landfill waste! The best model for beginners, the Back Porch, ($199) was developed for small gardens and makes compost in as little as 4-6 weeks. The mobile design includes two wheels for easy and lightweight transport. It comes with a free compost starter kit ($60 value). Because dads like to get a little dirty, too.

3. Vibrant, Edible, Compact Plants: Give the gift of delicious summer fruit and choose one of the new edible berry plants from Bushel and Berry™. Everyone will love these ornamental shrubs — they provide healthy, homegrown food and their beautiful foliage adds color to the garden throughout the seasons. With flowers starting in the spring, colorful berries popping up in the summer and stunning color lasting into the fall, Dad will enjoy this gift long after the holiday is over.
