Perth Mums with green thumbs will love one of these unusual gardening gifts this Mothers Day.

Mothers Day is always celebrated on the second Sunday in May which this year  falls on Sunday 12 May 2024. Throughout Australia, Mothers Day is an occasion to celebrate Mums, Stepmums, Grandmothers, Aunties and all the special women who play a precious part in our lives.

Traditionally, we celebrate Mums with gifts on Mothers Day, which can be anything from sweet treats to something special to wear. Flowers are a popular choice for Mothers Day gifting, but perhaps a plant or some seeds is a more sustainable choice.

If you do opt for cut flowers on Mothers Day, try to find a florist who is using sustainable, plastic free materials for wrapping and binding the bouquet like jute twineor hessian.

Handmade gifts and cards are always warmly received - get the kids to add a special drawing or a personal note for an extra special impact.

If Mum prefers to choose her own gardening goodies, why not consider a gift voucher so she can select something special at her leisure?
