Gardening Classes

Is your Valentine loves to learn about plants and gardening methods, check your local public garden for classes. Classes are also offers throughout the year at your local county extension services. These are affiliated with your State agricultural university. You can find your county extension office at gardeningknowhow.com.

Books and/or Magazine Subscriptions

In addition to invaluable online resources like staging.plantersplace.com, magazines are some of the best ways keep tabs on the gardening world. But if your Valentine has become smitten with a particular plant, like African violets, orchids, hostas, succulents, etc. there are societies with regular publications that really dig down to the nitty-gritty details.

Bird Feeders

For a winter distraction, we suggest having a bird feeder within view of a favorite window. This can bring your Valentine hours of pleasure. Make sure to also add a bag or two of seed to go with it.
