Eco-friendly Mother’s Day gifts
CSA Membership
Need an excuse to get together with your mom for family meals? Get her a CSA membership and offer to help her find delicious and nutritious ways to cook her farm-fresh fruits and vegetables. Not only will you be giving your mom a healthy, eco-kind Mother’s Day present that she will use weekly, you are also giving the local farmers the gift of ongoing support for their hard work. Visit LocalHarvest.org to find CSAs in your mom’s area.
Garden Kit with Heirloom Seeds
Visit your local nursery or co-op and put a garden kit together for your mom’s eco-friendly gift. Include organic soil, pots (if she doesn’t have a backyard for planting), and a variety of organic heirloom seeds. You can even include a membership for Seed Savers Exchange, so she can choose from a near countless assortment of heirloom fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
