Spring Gift Ideas for Easter, Passover & Mother’s Day

The traditional spring bulbs will be a beautiful asset to your holiday events this Easter, Passover &  Mother’s Day.  Giving a gift of a blooming plant is just as rewarding as receiving one. Be sure to check our selection of forced bulbs. Tulips, daffodils, hyacinth, and lilies are the favorites for these holidays Not only are they great as indoor plants while they bloom, but you can plant these outside and enjoy years of rewarding flowers. Hydrangea and gardenia have become instant favorites among our customers for gift giving. They make fine container plants for the summer season. Gardenias will need to be brought inside in September but the hydrangea can be planted outside in a partially shaded bed.

You can also give some more non-traditional gifts this season. A basket of assorted herbs will surely delight a cook, or how about a lavender plant in a terra cotta pot? Some Sweet William or English daisy will be welcomed by a gardening friend who likes early blooming perennials. For the true gardener or Mom, how about an ornamental dogwood tree, a lilac, or a mock orange? Yes, you may have to help Mom with the planting, but these gifts will definitely be memorable and lasting.
