Gifts from the Garden

92. Gift an ‘Herb Garden’. Grow various herbs like Thyme, Rosemary, and Basil etc. in small pots. Place these pots in a long plastic flat-bottomed basket and gift it to someone with a love for cooking.

93. Gift a potted plant in a hand- painted clay pot. Amaryllis is extremely easy to grow, looks great when in bloom and is a great gift for Christmas.

94. Purchase a small pine tree. It can be living (usually costs around $6.00 for a small potted one it a nursery) or an artificial one. Consider who the gift is intended for when deciding which type of pine to purchase. Decorate the tree appropriately for the intended recipient. If they don’t have a particular interest that you feel you can decorate around, hand make your own ornaments and use them to hang on the tree. Present this very personal gift to make a special memory for someone.

95. Collect seeds from your flowering plants and gift seed sachets to your friends who love gardening themselves.

96. Make a stationery set or simply a set of note cards using pressed flowers and leaves from your garden.

97. Make a fresh wreath using evergreens, acorns, seedheads, pinecones, flowers and whatever material you have available in your garden.
