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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Tulips imported from Holland will be on offer as will Alstroemeria, Carnations and other air-mile flowers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Pot plants in season include the fragrant Hyacinths and the colourful Azaelas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Garden tokens may seem to lack thought but they may be very welcome allowing Mum too buy something special when she needs a lift.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Young children could buy Mum some seeds to be raised together. Sunflowers, mustard and cress or beans are popular.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>A glossy gardening book may be the answer. I wouldn&#8217;t go for a detailed tome unless you know what would be appreciated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>There are many tools that would suit ladies.
