Our Top Picks for Mother's Day Gifts for Gardeners 2025

Mother's Day is just around the corner and if you're like us you see it as a great excuse to request a flower or garden related gift!

Here are our top picks for the best Mother's Day gifts for gardeners and florists in 2025 (aka gifts we would love to receive):

1. Emily Thompson Flowers -The new book by one of my all time favorite floral artists and working florist, Emily Thompson. I have long admired her wild, original and thoughtful compositions drawing from deepest darkest nature after discovering her arresting display of privet, pansies, plastic and a couple of dead fish that stopped me in my tracks in the Phaidon book: BLOOMS

2. A copper colored Cymbidium orchid - a stunning orchid to add to our start your orchid collection is always a great gift. Forget white grocery store phaleopnonpsis and opt for something like this exquisite copper toned cymbidium from Santy Orchids or Santa Barbara Orchid Estate

   
   

3. Tomato scented candle by Linnea - you might think it would smell a little curious but it's the perfect blend of that pleasant earthy tomato aroma and fresh soil after the rain. Made by a family business run on sustainable principles.

4. Gardeners Soap by Flamingo Estate- an indulgence for sure.  There has been a fair amount of hype around this self styled "pleasure garden" and we're curious to see if the soap lives up to it!

5. Mini Flower Press from The Floral Society - the cutest press from one of our favorite local Hudson Valley florists and stylish garden+home brands. There is nothing more delightful than preserving what you've grown, following in the footsteps of a popular Victorian era pastime or creating decorative images in the Oshibana tradition (the Japanese practice of making detailed pictures out of flower petals)

6. The Lomi 2 Food Recycler - we've been dying to try the Lomi to convert our food scraps to soil with the click of a button. Currently sold out on their site but available at a handful of other retailers, this might be a request that carries over onto our holiday wishlist!

7. Gardening Gloves by Womanswork - when it comes to gardening gloves we like them super functional and lightweight, not cutesy florals needed. These breathable, form fitting gloves by American Made, Women Owned brand Womanswork 100% meet our needs!

8. Plantflix Seed Subscription Box - take the thinking and the hassle out of timing your seedlings right and let the sweetest couple from Plantflix send you exactly what you need when you need it. Alina and Jeff have been running their business for 5 years and have thousands of happy customers. All their seeds are grown responsibly by small growers in the US.

Wishing all the mothers/mother figures and carers out there a very special Mothers Day!
