Non-GMO Wildflower Seed Mix
This is the perfect time to gift spring and summer-blooming flower seeds.
These seeds are perfect for your gardening loved one who loves flowers and wants to help the pollinators.
We love this seed packet (and company) because all of the seeds are sourced from open-pollinated plants.
This packet is full of different colored flowers, like Black-Eyed Susan, Purple Cone Flower, Columbine, White Yarrow, Dianthus, and more!

Heart-Leaf Philodendron
This is a great gift to show your loved one that you care about them so much you want them to have cleaner indoor air, a more positive attitude, and even help keep them calm with a sense of having the outdoors indoors!
The Heart-Shaped Leaf Philodendron is a REALLY easy plant to care for needing only indirect light, some water, and very little maintenance otherwise.
And look at those heart-shaped leaves!!
Under the right indoor conditions, this gift will continue to grow new heart-shaped leaves symbolizing all the love and affection you have for your loved one for years to come!

Life would “succ” without this unique gift idea!

Meyer Lemon Tree
We guarantee you never thought of gifting a citrus tree for Valentine’s day!!
By gifting your loved one a lemon tree they could eventually grow and pick their own actual lemons. Isn’t that great?!
Just like your relationship with your loved one, with care and special attention, this tree can mature over time to produce fruit you could both can enjoy.
