Step 1
Buy a new pair of gardening gloves to give as a Mother's Day gift. Choose heavy-duty gloves that will last an entire season and are machine-washable. Select a set of coordinating kneepads that will relieve or reduce knee pain associated with gardening.
-
Step 2
Make sure your gardener is protected from the elements when she gardens. Choose a wide-brimmed hat for her to wear. Include a bottle of sunblock to prevent sunburn and a large water bottle, so she can remain hydrated as she works.
-
Step 3
Give an assortment of hand tools that are useful in gardening, such as small spades or shovels, hand rakes and pruning shears. Tie them all together with a pretty ribbon for an attractive presentation or add them to a gardening gift basket.
-
Step 4
Select seed packets as part of a Mother's Day present. Many home-improvement stores carry seeds for flowers and vegetables. Read the directions on the packages to make sure you live in the appropriate climate zone for each specific plant.
-
Step 5
Purchase a small watering can to keep on your porch or deck. Use the can to water smaller plants that cannot be reached by a garden hose, hanging plants or those that would be easily damaged by the forceful stream of a hose.
-
Step 6
Give your wife or mother a gift card to a nursery or gardening center, so she can pick out annuals or other items she wants for the yard. Include a handmade certificate for "time off" from the kids, so she can garden in peace.
