Unique Gardening Gifts
Mother’s Day is just around the corner, so I wanted to share my top 10 best gardening gifts for mom, including one I made myself
Mothers are so incredibly special. A few years ago, I wrote the 23 lessons I learned from my mother and every year I find more things I could add to that list.
My mother is an avid gardener and so she, of course, inspired this post, as I am often searching for the perfect gardening gift for her. If you’re mother has gardened for a while, then she probably has all the basic gardening tools, so this list is made of more unique or advanced gardening gifts for mom.
