Friday Quickie: Give the Gift of Green

Looking for a unique gift for someone this holiday season?

Think Green. But not money. Or ‘green’ like the environment.

Giving a living plant is a great gift to help someone further their gardening, breathe fresh air into their office or home or lift spirits with a mini ecosystem. Have friend with a black thumb? Think low maintenance air plants or terrariums.

You can even get craft and make your own succulent terrarium gift.

 

Readers, what ‘green’ gifts are you giving?
