Carefully curated for mom, here are
Garden Valley’s Top 5 mother’s day Gift Ideas
1. hanging baskets
With so many colors, textures, and light options, hanging baskets make the perfect gift for any mom. She’ll be looking at these every time she pulls up the driveway into her home, and, of course, will be reminded of how amazing of a child you are for gifting her these.
Some of our favorites…
For sun, we love the classic Petunia or Million Bell hanging baskets. The more sun, the better! All they need is an occasional dead heading to encourage new bloom growth. But don’t forget to water!
For shade, we love Fuscia! They thrive in those shady places that don’t receive any sun, and their unique blooms easily bring joy to the hearts of those who witness them.
You can read more here about keeping your hanging basket beautiful.
2. houseplants
If you want your mom to enjoy a plant every second of every day… get her a houseplant. They’re not as hard as you think to take care of, and our staff at Garden Valley will help guide you in picking out the perfect one. (Blog post to come soon on our favorite houseplants!)
3. pottery
Speaking of plants… you mom is going to need something to put those beautiful plants in. We have so many colors, shapes, and sizes in our pottery selection that can’t be matched by any other stores in our area. We hand select our pottery pieces every year, and they truly will make such a beautiful addition to your mom’s home. A good investment? We think so!
4. Mixed Container
If you’re low on time but still want to “wow you mom’s socks off”, take a look at some of our gorgeous mixed containers. Mixed containers are great because they come in so many colors, provide texture/depth to landscaping, and let’s be honest, are just really cute. Plus, mixed containers are already pre-made, so you don’t have to worry about planting anything. You can just pick one out, put it in your car, and watch your mama’s eyes get HUGE over the gorgeousness of the bloom and leaf combination.
5. a shopping spree
If you REALLY want to make your mom happy… treat mom to a yummy brunch/lunch, and then surprise her with a shopping spree to Garden Valley. We have so many gorgeous things at our stores that will put a huge smile on your mom’s face. But what really makes the moment special is the time spent together walking through the stores and having those easy, fun conversations. Because no matter what physical gift you get your mom, the memories and little moments like that… those are what she really wants.
*BONUS*
Gift certificate
We do offer gift certificates as well, so if you’re completely stuck on time, this is a great option! Maybe with this, she can finally buy that item she’s been saving up for!
