1. Add new flowers to her garden
Surrounding oneself with flowers and plants has been shown to boost wellbeing. This Mother's Day, instead of a fresh bouquet, give your mom a living bouquet that will last a long time. Add some flowers to her garden to boost her mood and calm her mind every day.
As a lavender farm, we recommend bringing a pot of lavender plants to your mom's garden this Mother's Day. Lavender is not only beautiful but also renowned for its aromatic fragrance and therapeutic properties. It's an excellent choice if your mom loves the soothing scent and stunning purple blooms.
Why Lavender? Lavender is not just a pretty addition to the garden; it also offers numerous benefits. Here are a few reasons why lavender makes a perfect gift for Mother's Day:
- Ease of Growth: Lavender is relatively easy to grow and maintain, making it ideal for both novice and experienced gardeners. It thrives in well-drained soil and requires minimal watering once established.
- Aromatic Bliss: The calming scent of lavender is known to promote relaxation and reduce stress. By adding lavender to her garden, your mom can enjoy the soothing aroma every time she steps outside.
- Beautiful Blooms: Lavender's vibrant purple blooms add a pop of color to any garden. Whether planted in pots or directly in the ground, lavender plants will enhance the visual appeal of her outdoor space.
- Versatility: Lavender is a versatile herb that can be used for various purposes. From crafting homemade potpourri to brewing fragrant teas, your mom can explore different ways to incorporate lavender into her daily life.
How to Choose Lavender Plants for Your Garden: When selecting lavender plants for your mom's garden, consider the following factors:
- Variety: Lavender comes in a delightful array of options, each boasting its own distinct characteristics. From varying colours and features to diverse scents, there's a lavender variety to suit every preference and climate. When selecting the perfect lavender for your mum's garden, consider not only her aesthetic preferences but also the specific environmental conditions of her outdoor space. This thoughtful approach ensures that the chosen variety will thrive and bring joy to her garden for seasons to come.
- Size: Lavender plants come in various sizes, from compact varieties suitable for containers to larger bushes ideal for borders or hedging. Determine the available space in your mom's garden and select plants accordingly.
- Growing Conditions: Lavender thrives in sunny, well-drained locations. Ensure that your mum's garden receives plenty of sunlight and has soil with good drainage to promote healthy growth.
- Maintenance: Consider your mum's gardening experience and the amount of time she can dedicate to maintenance tasks. Some lavender varieties may require more care than others, so choose accordingly.
By carefully selecting and planting lavender in your mum's garden this Mother's Day, you're not only giving her a beautiful gift but also a source of joy and tranquility that will continue to bloom year after year.

2. Decorate her house with indoor plants.
Indoor plants not only enhance the aesthetic of any space but also purify the air and boost mood. It's the perfect gift for mum, as it provides a calming and soothing effect while distracting her from worries. With a wide range of indoor plants to choose from, it's something special even if she doesn't realise she loves indoor plants yet!
Here are some indoor plants that can thrive in almost any home.
- Sansevieria
More commonly known as snake plant or mother-in-law's tongue. They are some of the toughest plants you can find. You can put it in a dark corner of mum's house. It will be just fine. They also look stylish in all kinds of pots.
- Philodendron Brasil
The Philodendron Brasil gives a colourful twist on a classic houseplant with heart-shaped leaves in different shades of green and yellow. It is easy to take care of and will tolerate all kinds of neglect including poor soil, low light and inconsistent watering.
- Monstera Andansonii
Monstera Andansonii, also known as the Swiss Cheese Vine. It has a show-stopper foliage with irregular holes. It is beautiful and unique. If your mum is a plant lover, it will make her day with this living gift.
3. Choose a dried flower bouquet for her space
Fresh flowers are gorgeous but only last for a short time. Opt for a dried flower bouquet for mum that will look stunning on her dining or coffee table and last for a long time. It's a unique way to add texture and beauty to mum's home, and she'll appreciate the thoughtful gesture.
Lavender dried flowers offer a myriad of benefits beyond their captivating appearance. While they may not possess the intense fragrance of fresh blooms, their delicate scent still exudes a sense of tranquility and relaxation, making them perfect for creating a serene ambiance in any setting. Ideal for those seeking a more understated fragrance, dried lavender is a natural choice for promoting calmness and reducing stress.
As Mother's Day approaches, consider the gift of dried lavender bundles for the special women in your life. Unlike traditional fresh bouquets that fade quickly, dried lavender offers enduring beauty and relaxation, embodying the essence of tranquility. It's a thoughtful present that allows mothers to unwind and indulge in moments of self-care.
