DO YOU WANT TO BE MY VALENTINE FROM THE FAIRY GARDEN?

It is February at last! This January seemed like it went on forever. But now it’s time for a month dedicated to groundhogs, football, and Valentines. I’ve always considered February to be the start of the spring vacation season. Valentine’s Day marks the beginning of several holidays, such as St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, and others, that help usher in the warmer months and longer days. I cling to those vacations, looking to them as a lifeline, amid the icy weeks of the latter bits of winter. In short, they inspire optimism in me. I’m thinking about Valentine’s Day this week. Even though February 14th is often seen as a romantic day for couples, I have always loved spending the day showing love to my friends, family, and strangers. This year, we could all use a bit extra love! and fortune favors gardeners. Valentine’s Day is well known for emphasizing plants and flowers. I’m going to push you this year to attempt something different, like a winter container garden, instead of the standard bouquet of roses. One of my favorite winter container plants, string of hearts, is a simple Valentine’s Day gift idea. For those who value all things green and growing, this delicate, trailing houseplant would make a thoughtful present. Gifts of winter plants and container gardens are very appreciated, particularly when the plants are arranged in a well selected container and adorned with little accessories and fairies. For some of my best suggestions on Valentine’s Day scenarios you can put together in a winter container garden, keep reading. 1. Animals: Two cuddly animals could not be more adorable? Consider the recipient’s most cherished animal. Find two little replicas of the animal and place them next to a plant that blooms in the winter. The picture is finished with a little homemade sign that reads, a string of hearts for two lovebirds, or I can’t wait to see our love grow. 2. Do you celebrate Galentine’s Day with your dearest friends? Give your best friend a container garden for winter that they will treasure. begin with a beautiful potted winter container plant. then include two fairy pals and a little bench. For good measure, add some fairy dust glitter! 3. Gnomes in love: the little garden is home to more than just fairies! Not everyone is aware that gnomes are often bitten by the love bug. Select a pair of adorable gnomes to give as a little garden gift. Place them around the winter plant, garnish the setting with a white picket fence and a few toadstools. I love you gnome matter what or love the gnome you are with might be written on a homemade garden sign or card that goes with it. There are many pun options. 4. Hearts: My favorite little plant for Valentine’s Day is a string of hearts. I’m looking for a matching heart-shaped container this year! In a single heart-shaped winter container garden, I would want to combine a variegated variation with a green-leafed variant. The two string of hearts plants placed on my desk will assist enliven my workspace and guarantee that love is in the air—or at least in the pot! What are you going to make this season? Think about making a winter container garden to give to your loved ones when the snow and cold keep us inside.
