I am planning a 50th wedding anniversary party for my parents. I thought that I would request no gifts. However, I think my parents would really enjoy something for the garden. Both of my parents love to work outdoors. What would be the best way to relay this information appropriately? Any ideas?

Stick with the "no gift" idea. Have had a 50th party, so know most people our age do not need much. They would get many more useless gifts for the garden that usefull ones. If they are like me, I would rather "pick out" the things I want, than get something I do not want.

There is no graceful way top request a specific type of gift for this occassion unless asked. Either put "no gifts" or do not mention gifts at all. Then if anyone asks what they would like, you can tell them something like "It really isn't necessary but if you want to get them a token they really enjoy their garden..,"
