Plant up a winner for Mother’s Day

March 13, 2017

It’s kind of a tradition in my family to give my Mum some kind of plant for Mother’s day. As a kid, this generally meant a posie of Daffodils wrapped in tin foil, but I thought I’d step things up a notch this year. This video shows you how to plant up an attractive container display. I’ve used some of my mum’s favs, Hellebore, Heuchera, Thyme and Ivy, but you can pick your favourite seasonal combo.

    Hi Hannah, One question! Why did you not open up the roots of your plants as you potted them? I always do this -just gently. Snd please – it is NOT Mother’s Day! That is how the USA term it. Out is MOTHERING SUNDAY. I have spent my married life searching for cards with MOTHERING SUNDAY – I dare not let my kids give Yvonne anything that said Mother’s Day. Sadly I do not need to worry any more but please – get it right. Amanda will agree with me I am sure. Give Amanda a hug from me please!

      Hi Ron! Nice to here from you! I didn’t tease them out as I often do because the reality is they were quite snuggly planted, so in this instance I didn’t think it would make that much difference. Note taken on Mothering Sunday, although I’m happy to have viewers in America too! Hope all is well 🙂
