3rd Aprill 2011 is Gardening Mothers Day and if your mother is any form of gardener or interested in flowers (and who isn’t) then here are our tips for  presents.

Mothers Day Gardening Gifts and Ideas

• RHS membership is being promoted on special Mums day offer – link

• Have a family day out at a local garden or park. Take a walk looking for wild flowers or you will find a list of places to visit at the National Trust or English Heritage. Most have suitable tearooms for that important cuppa.

• If it is going to be a bunch of flowers then seasonal Daffodils are a firm spring favourite. Do not put Daffodils in mixed bunches.

• Tulips imported from Holland will be on offer as will Alstroemeria, Carnations and other air-mile flowers.

• This year to be different buy a vase for all the flowers your garden is going to supply Mum this year but remember to keep filling it.

• Pot plants in season include the fragrant Hyacinths and the colourful Azaelas.

• Garden tokens may seem to lack thought but they may be very welcome allowing Mum too buy something special when she needs a lift.

• Young children could buy Mum some seeds to be raised together. Sunflowers, mustard and cress or beans are popular.

• A glossy gardening book may be the answer. I wouldn’t go for a detailed tome unless you know what would be appreciated.

• There are many tools that would suit ladies. From pink trowels and gloves to light weight spades, choose wisely.
