It’s May and Mother’s Day preparations are underway. Springtime is a season for fertility and new life – why not celebrate moms and mother figures with presents that will honor Mother Earth? Garden-themed gifts can add green space to the planet while helping your mom grow something special. From the best bouquet, to growing tools and educational resources, there are so many options for eco-friendly gifting. Here are some last-minute Mother’s Day gift ideas for the plant mom in your life.
A Kit to Grow Better Grass
Know a mom who wants to set up their home grow but isn’t sure where to start? A Pot for Pot takes the guesswork out of growing better grass for beginners. Seasoned plant mamas can also benefit from a Pot for Pot’s natural system. Their all-inclusive kits come with everything your mom needs to harvest at home, and with the simple instructions set up should take less than an hour. The kits even include a coupon for $40 off when you purchase strains from their seed partner (who also happens to be the next gift recommendation on this list!).
High-Quality Seeds
If you want to gift your mom some top-shelf seeds this Mother’s Day, ILGM has got you covered. Their autoflowering seeds are the perfect solution for beginners, or moms who want to cultivate quickly. Since autoflowers aren’t dependent on light or local climate the way photosensitive plants are, they can be harvested much sooner. Grow moms can go from seed to weed in just 10 weeks. ILGM also has tons of growing resources on their site, covering the basics of plant care, growing mediums and environments, troubleshooting, and advanced techniques. If you know your mom’s favorite strain, select those seeds, and help her grow her own way.
A Haute Houseplant
For moms who want high-end houseplants that match their unique vibe, Grounded has curated a stunning Mother’s Day collection of plants and accessories. They even have categories for low maintenance and pet-friendly plants to suit specific needs. Pick out a plant and help your mom add some greenery to her sanctuary.
A Guide to Growing Her Own Mindful Medicine
Is there a book-loving mom in your life who also has a green thumb? Show some love to her and Mother Earth as well by gifting her Feminist Weed Farmer: Growing Mindful Medicine In Your Own Back Yard. Humboldt farmer Madrone Stewart lays out a step-by-step guide for home growers that empowers them and protects the planet. A homegrown stash can help your mom save some money too. Along with the book, you can include a voucher volunteering your help when it’s time to harvest!
Room to Grow
For moms who need a durable and discreet home grow space, Gorilla Grow Tent is the perfect present. Strong and smell-proof, GGT tents are highly regarded as some of the best indoor grow tents for beginners and seasoned growers. A Gorilla Grow Tent can be adjusted vertically, so there’s plenty of room for your mom to grow her tallest sativas. If she has a Rosie-the-nosy-neighbor, or lives in an area with stormy weather, mom can rest assured her plants will be protected.
Seeds to Sip and Savor
Is there a mom in your life who loves tea? Garden Republic’s Herbal Tea Garden Kit has everything she needs to grow and brew her own herbal tea. This kit comes with GMO-free, heirloom Chamomile, Lavender, Lemon Balm, and Peppermint. Mom can use this versatile planting kit to start a garden on her balcony, windowsill, or outside in her yard. Fun fact: These four herbs make great companion plants to grow alongside cannabis!
A Botanical Bible
If your magical mama wants to harness the power of plants for recipes, remedies and rituals, she’ll love The Art & Practice of Spiritual Herbalism. In this book, renowned Black herbalist Karen M. Rose takes readers on a journey of physical and spiritual healing with powerful plant medicine. Moms who are interested in learning more about ancestral herbalism will love having this book in their home libraries.
A Crash Course in Cultivation
You can provide mom with some growing guidance by signing her up for a Pot for Pot’s Summer Grow Class. This summer-long educational series guides students along the entire plant journey from seed to smoke. The class includes 8 pre-recorded video drops, along with live Q&A sessions. The best part: this course is absolutely FREE!
I hope this list sparked some inspiration! That said, I know that this holiday can be a tough time for folks who have a complicated relationship with their mother, or folks who are mourning the loss of their mother or their child.
