Gifts From the Garden

Wedding Gift

Steps:

1. Collect a piece of ivy from the bride’s bouquet. Slip it into a wet paper towel and a plastic bag.

2. Make a rooting by clipping the ivy just below a leaf node.

3. Dip the end in a rooting solution and plant in potting soil. Water it lightly.

For a memorable housewarming gift, use clothespins to attach money and gift certificates to the leaves of a large plant You could even wrap little presents and attach those to the leaves.

Instead of giving cut flowers as a thank-you gift, try a living plant instead such as an azalea, miniature rose, lavender or salvia. Wrap the pot in a pretty piece of fabric, secure with a ribbon and add a handwritten note.
