Why we Think Plant Markers Are a Great Way to Show Your Heart
It might still be January but it’s not too soon to start thinking about Valentine’s Day and how to show that special someone that you care. The card aisles are already awash in pink and glitter and store shelves are loaded with chocolate. But if you’re looking for a unique way to say “I Love You” may we suggest gardening gifts and plant markers for your favorite gardener?
Here’s our quick list of love gifts for the gardener. We feel you’ll be sure to find the one that will touch their heart (and love of gardening).
1. A Mini Indoor Herb Garden
Gardeners love to grow things but that can be hard in the winter in most of the country so why not give him or her a fun gardening project for indoors? Arrange your own miniature herb garden that can be grown in any cheerful window. Tiny pots of growing mint, basil, lavender, rosemary and/or lemon verbena are sure to charm.
Snip mint leaves and add them to a bowl of blackberries drizzled with honey for an extra special breakfast or after-dinner treat. Grab a few of the Italian herbs for some homemade pasta sauce or pesto. Many herbs make wonderful hot tea infusions.
2. Amaryllis
Talk about stunning displays! There’s nothing quite so grand as a tall, velvety red amaryllis. Of course, they do come in other charming colors as well. Give this flower already planted and waiting to bloom or as a bulb.
3. Red Rose Bush
The traditional Valentine gift is surely a dozen long stem roses. And they certainly will communicate your feelings. On the other hand, no matter how much care is given, this gift will eventually droop. By contrast, a lush rose bush will express your heart all summer and fall. Over and over again, year after year.
4. A Gardener’s Basket
A tisket, a tasket – give your loved one a gardening basket! Choose a lovely basket and fill it with all kinds of goodies. Rubber clogs, new gardening gloves, a trowel and some great-looking plant markers. This is a gift that says you know what fills their heart with joy (besides you, of course).
At Kincaid Plant Markers we love gardening every month of the year. We make the very best plant markers so that all the love and effort that goes into growing things gets the notice it deserves. Now’s the time to order a set to give your very special gardening someone!
