February 14 th , is just around the corner! Whether you are looking for that special gift for your spouse of 30 years, newly engaged or in a brand-new relationship, Valentine’s Day is the day we show our significant other that they are special to us! A bouquet of flowers or an edible arrangement are the normal “go-to” choices and unfortunately these expected gifts leave us somewhat disappointed. Really should we get a bouquet of flowers year after year? How boring!!
On a quest to spice up this Valentine’s Day, our team at Bay Area design & Landscape has come up with several gift ideas to let your special someone know how much you really care. Stop by our nursery and let our staff help create something unique for you this year. Some ideas include:
Ivy Topiary Hearts potted in lovely terracotta planters.
An array of succulents, easy to care for in our shell planter.
Provencal wooden trough filled with Gerbera Daisy.
Garden Gloves and tools in a keep sake planter.
Glazed Urns with Topiary Ivy spheres.
Mini Roses planted in beautiful planters.
Organic Olive Oil from the Island of Malta –limited supplies!
Other gift ideas include:
Urns/planters or Fountains —what a great opportunity to surprise your loved one with an urn she might have had her eyes on for quite a while! We can have that urn planted for you, or give you suggestions of what to plant. Fountains always rank high among women’s wish list – do you have a spot for one?
Outdoor furniture and Accessories – such as benches, tables, console tables. We all have a need for one of these.
Fire Pits- Don’t most men like to play with fire? What a great way to surprise your special someone with our wonderful ready-made fire pits!
Another great idea is a group project, something that you can do together with your partner and to enjoy for many years to come:
Plant a tree together – your Love tree! This gift will last for many years, and will bring you memories of the day you shared planting the tree together. Or – what about planting a couple of fruit trees. Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit, Satsuma all do exceptionally well In our area.
Build a garden together – we can easily grow an array of vegetables and herbs – and how nice will it be to have your own parsley, basil, thyme, rosemary and not have to run to the store to buy a packet to waste half of it!
I find that some of my fondest and most treasured memories are the ones when together my husband and I played in the garden!
