Mother's Day Container Gardening:
In every religion, mother is important. Mother in Hindu religion is treated as first Guru. Mother in India is called 'Aai', 'Maa', 'Amma', and many different names. Mother plays a very important role as we all know in a person's life.
All mothers work tirelessly for their kids' well-being, health and prosperity. While you can gift your mother many things ranging from useful kitchen items to flowers to chocolates on Mother's Day, it will be a unique gift on Mother's Day to gift your mother something fragrant.
Container garden is a good gift on Mother's Day, you can start small with one or two pots of combination of flower and vegetable/herb garden. In India, cilantro is commonly used in garnishing vegetable dishes and vegetarian curries. For example, it is easy to grow herbs like cilantro and very useful as it is used in daily cooking. Similarly in the Western world, growing herbs like parsley, thyme, oregano, etc. might be a good idea for great vegetarian pasta, pizza and other tasty mouthwatering dishes.
Select the vegetable or vegetables that you would like to grow in your garden space. The garden space can be a small terrace area in your apartment or balcony area of your apartment, or a garden area around your house. If your garden space is limited, you can grow simple herbs or simple vegetables like green beans that can be grown easily in smaller containers.
While flowers are important and give joy to people around the world, in India for mothers, it is one of the most important things to do for their daily worship/puja. There is nothing better to grow than to grow your own Puja flowers in your small balcony, terrace, apartment area or garden area around your house that can bring lot of joy, happiness, relaxation and fragrance to her and her loved ones.
Thus, this Mother's Day, gifting her fragrant container garden whether it is jasmine/mogra, herbs like cilantro, parsley that is useful to your mother will make her happy!!!
