The Farmer's Daughter | Wide-brimmed Garden Hat (UPF 50+)

A stainless steel hand shovel and hand fork on green wooden handles. Weighted properly — the step up from whatever came in the starter kit.

Twenty flowers honeybees work — bergamot, lacy phacelia, New England aster, baby blue-eyes, California poppy among them. Non-GMO, open-pollinated. Zones 4–9. Reusable recycled-steel tin, 2 in across. In cool climates sow spring, early summer, or late enough in fall that it waits for spring.

English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia). The leaves are aromatic from the start, and the flowers are edible — raw in salads, brewed in tea, baked into cookies, and especially good with dark chocolate. Reusable recycled-steel tin, 2 in across. Seeds, so it's a season away.

Fourteen varieties — black-eyed Susan, purple coneflower, scarlet flax, Mexican hat, perennial lupine and more. Non-GMO, open-pollinated. Reusable recycled-steel tin, 2 in across, directions inside.

Milkweed is the one plant a monarch's life cycle depends on, so this tin holds four native milkweeds — butterfly, showy, swamp, common — plus four nectar flowers to feed the adults. Non-GMO, open-pollinated. Zones 3–9, covers 20 sq ft. Reusable recycled-steel tin, 2 in across.

A 27 in square in silky sienna polyester, with smooth finished edges. Neckerchief, headband, wrist, or knotted through a bag handle — the colour does the work.
