It pays to be thoughtful and supplying your gardener with a drink or two will help his/her day along. There is no telling what advantages may be gained by you for such little acts of kindness. Engage in some conversation with your gardener whenever you get the chance so that you can build a friendly relationship and benefit from their knowledge and ideas.
