GARDEN OF LOVE

Why just give your mother a bouquet of flowers, when you can give her a garden to cherish. Plant roses, daisies, and other colorful plants for your zone. Check with your local nursery to see what flowers are native. Native flowers will grow better, and attract butterflies, and birds. If your lucky enough to have an area 5' X 10' you can create a little sanctuary, and maybe even add a bench. If not, you can line the driveway, walkways, or any other place that can be enjoyed such as around the mailbox with colorful flowers. If you do not have land to work with, consider building a patio garden. You can find a wonderful assortment of plants, and flowers that grow beautifully on a patio in decorative containers.
