Flavour boosters for the barbecue
Does your dad love standing by the grill flipping burgers and cooking skewers to perfection? Then surprise him with a collection of plants and herbs that will take his dishes to the next level. Think flavour boosters like Curry Plant, Rosemary, Chives and Mint. If the weather’s nice, you can fire up the barbecue together on Father’s Day and use the herbs straight away.
Cheers to Father’s Day!
Does your father figure enjoy winding down with a drink after a busy working week? Then gift him a homemade thirst quencher. How about a Coconut-Lavender mocktail or Chrysanthemum tea, for example? If your dad enjoys brewing his own beer, give him a Hop plant as a gift. A Lemon Tree is another lovely gift idea. Use the lemon juice in a salad, add it to a dish, or cut the lemon into wedges to make your water, lemonade or cocktail extra refreshing.
Plants for his wellbeing
Of course, you want your father figure feeling fit, fresh and full of energy. So why not consider plants that are especially good for his wellbeing and can help ease minor complaints? Red Sage, for example, is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, while Aloe Vera is ideal for soothing redness, skin irritation or sunburn.
Gardening together
Whether you have a large garden or a small balcony: if your father figure enjoys gardening, why not tackle the outdoor space together by maintaining it and/or starting a vegetable, fruit or herb garden together? You’ll both reap the rewards later on! We’d love to share tips for creating an edible picking garden. Short on space? No problem! Then take a look at our article on vertical gardening.
