Great Gifts for Mom at the Market!

5/7/2010 10:16pm by Mary Meyer

Looking for a gift for Mother’s Day? Most mothers love flowers, and you’ll find lots at the market this week, whether you’re looking for hanging baskets or plants for the flowerbed.

Jane Prater and Shawn West of “The Garden” offer perennials and annuals, as well as extra-sturdy shepherd’s hook plant hangers. Penny Carroll brings a wide variety of perennials from her own garden to the market, including daylilies, ornamental grass, buttercups, and ferns. Siegrist Farms has a great selection of colorful hanging baskets, including petunias, impatiens, vining geraniums, begonias, and more. The Troendlys of Victorian Rose Farm specialize in coleus, tuberous begonias, mixed planters, and unusual perennials.

You’ll find other choices for Mom at the market as well, including delicious homemade pastries, cookies, and candies. See you there!
