The true beauty of this Mother’s Day gift idea is that you may already have most of these pieces to assemble a potted garden for your wife or mother (or for yourself)! Who wouldn’t enjoy fresh herbs and vegetables nestled into their backyard landscaping or onto their patio? Grab an old bench or a long table or a metal plant stand; something old and rustic looking adds great character.
Using new pots or ones that you may already own, plant them with a mix of herbs and vegetables.
Shown here are multiple basil plants (think pesto), cilantro (yummy salsas), chives (cold salads, egg dishes), and a little pot of chicks and hens for decoration. The two larger containers house an heirloom tomato plant and a red pepper plant. Your special lady would be pleasantly surprised to find a similar assembly out in her yard on Mother’s Day!
