Gift Ideas for the Gardening Mom

This Sunday, May 11th is Mother’s Day, and what better way to show mom some love than by surprising her with one of these gardening or garden-inspired gifts? Whispering Springs Nursery has put together a list of surefire hits that will sprout love in Mom’s heart.

Homemade Garden markers – Garden markers can be made from all different kinds of materials, including flat stones, old dishware, wine corks, or the more traditional wood. Depending on Mom’s personality, you can have lots of fun creating markers that will help her keep vegetables, herbsGarden markers - flickr or flowers in order.

Tools of the trade – Buy mom a nice pair of gardening gloves or that pruning shears that she would never purchase for herself. Look for a pair of hearty gardening gloves that provide comfort and durability and keep dirt and leaves from sneaking in. Additional options include a garden apron, or a personalized garden tote for all her essentials.

Personalized yard sign – Another option for Mom that can either be handmade (if you’re a hands-on DIY expert) or purchased. A sign with Mom’s favorite quote or a simple “Mom’s Garden” sign will let her take ownership of all her hard work in the garden.

Painted Flower Pot – A favorite that kids can help make, personalized flower pots will allow that special mom in your life to think of you every time she looks at her beautiful blooms. And don’t stop at Mom – this is a great gift for grandmas and aunts, too! If you’re stumped on ideas, a simple search for “painted flower pot” will be sure to help you sprout some artistic creativity. Be sure to bring your newly created container by Whispering Springs Nursery in Jasper, GA so that we can fill it with the perfect flowers.

These are just a few of the colorful options to add an extra pop of color or whimsy to Mom’s garden this spring. Happy Mother’s Day from Whispering Springs Nursery! May you enjoy the gifts of your garden!
