A few years ago, my partner and I were embarking on a trip to Wisconsin to visit his family. In classic road trip fashion, the car was full. It was around Mother’s Day, and as we headed out of town, I got an Easy Elegance® Music Box Rose to gift his mom. I know I’m not the first person to think of gifting plants to friends and family, but there’s truly something special about giving someone in your life a plant that can be cared for and last year after year.
I’m happy to say that the rose is a gift that truly keeps on giving. It has settled beautifully in their backyard, and on a trip we made last September, his mom happily reported that Music Box was going strong. I even got to see the late-season blooms! As this gardening season begins—and with Mother’s Day right around the corner!—we all think about what we want to add to our spaces, so I encourage you to think outside of your yards. Who in your life might enjoy something new and something green added to their space?
