Make gift giving easy with unique green experiential gifts that provide weeks, months and even years of beauty.

Provide some aromatherapy, flavor and beauty with fragrant flowers and herbs. Lily-of-the-valley may be a bully in the garden, but it’s a fragrant beauty is sure to brighten a winter day when planted in a container and enjoyed indoors.  The calming fragrance of Spanish lavender can be enjoyed fresh or the stems and flowers snipped, dried and added to bouquets and sachets.  Rosemary’s flavor makes it a perfect gift for the foodies on your list. And everyone, including non-cooks, will enjoy its fragrance.

Gardeners and non-gardeners alike will be fascinated by the amaryllis bulb as it transforms from bulb to flowering  plant. Make it even easier and fun with a waxed amaryllis bulb. Dipped in colorful wax, these freestanding bulbs need no soil or water.

A bit more information:  Be sure to provide the name of the plant and care instructions when giving one as a gift. This will increase the receiver’s success, satisfaction and may just inspire them to grow a few more plants indoors and out.
