This Mother’s Day, forget jewelry and chocolate. Go green and buy mom a garden gift. Moms are naturals at helping things grow, and there’s no better place to do that than in the garden. Celebrate your mom – and Mother Nature – with these five unique gift ideas.

Give Mom a Lifetime of Flowers:

There is still plenty of time to give and plant summer flowering bulbs for Mom. Extra props for the son or daughter that plants them, too! This video from Garden Answer shows a spring bulb planting and how you can use the fiery, Bulb of the Year – Crocosmia – in your garden.

Homegrown Nutritious Blueberries she will Love:

Give Mom delicious fruit by choosing one of the new edible berry plants from the Bushel and Berry® collection. Blueberry Buckle™, a quick growing blueberry, stays compact with white bell-shaped flowers that appear in spring and sweet, dark blueberries in summer. Southern Bluebelle™ will be a charming addition to her patio or landscape. This petite blueberry plant produces plump, juicy blueberries in late summer and displays bright red, emerging foliage that turns emer­ald green as it matures.

When your Mom has a Brown Thumb:
