Happy April! Amanda here today with a quick and easy gift for the green thumbs in your life. Hopefully most of you have dug your way out of the snow by now and are ready to get your garden going. Share the garden love with your friends and family by giving a garden-themed gift container.

Garden Gift Containers by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Home Grown collectionGarden gift containers are inexpensive and come together in a snap. Start with a cute container, your favorite Pebbles patterned paper, and some seeds. For added gift giving flair, add a hand tool (or two) and a pair of garden gloves. This little watering can is super adorable, but an upcycled tin can would be just as lovely (and earth friendly).

Garden Gift Containers by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Home Grown collectionCreating a theme for the garden gift containers makes it extra fun. Gather seeds that make a fun collection such as salad, salsa, or an herb garden. Embellish the seed packets with a cute label and pretty garden-themed sticker.

If your handwriting stinks like mine does, choose your favorite font and print directly on the labels.

No measuring and no cutting makes creating seed packets super easy. Choose your favorite patterned papers and punch away! Each seed packet requires only two 3×4″ cards.

Garden Gift Containers by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Home Grown collectionCreate the seed packets by stapling two 3×4″ cards together at the top and bottom. Next, fold the seed packet in half and tuck in between the paper.  No fuss whatsoever.

Garden Gift Containers by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Home Grown collectionIn an even bigger crunch for time, or have a lot of gifts to make?  Simply put a few seed packets into a small bucket  (shredded paper optional) and add a label.  Quick, easy, and sure to bring a smile! Happy planting!

Seed Packet Gift Envelope

Hi, it’s Becki, here to share with you a quick and easy Spring gift. I created this seed packet gift envelope in about 15 minutes. It was SO easy and doesn’t require a ton of supplies. The Homegrown collection is perfect for Spring projects.

I love Spring and, even though I’m a terrible gardener, I do love to have a small herb garden in my kitchen window. I thought it would be fun to share an herb garden with a friend.

Mini Bee and Butterfly Gardens

Amanda here today with a quick and easy Easter decor idea for my fellow last minute slacker peeps. Easter dinner is close to the top of the list of Huge Family Meals we eat throughout the year. We are always eager to celebrate an occasion with a huge ham and big pile of cheesy potatoes. It is also one of the few meals where I actually set the table and create a fun centerpiece.

Bee and Butterfly Gardens by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Cottage and Home Grown collectionsGrab a few empty cans, some patterned paper and some flowers and bees and you’ll have some pretty, happy, spring-inspired Easter decor in no time. These mini bee and butterfly gardens are super easy to care for and the flowers are guaranteed not to wilt. You can plant wheat grass directly in the containers, or fill the containers with wheat grass from the grocery store.

Bee and Butterfly Gardens by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Cottage and Home Grown collectionsEvery flower garden needs some buzzing bees, and the enamel bee stickers from the Home Grown collection are perfect. Adhere the bees to the top of a piece of floral wire to make them appear as though they are buzzing all around.  Add a few bees and maybe a butterfly or two.

Bee and Butterfly Gardens by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Cottage and Home Grown collectionsWrap regular ol’ soup cans with patterned paper to create the pretty garden containers. I am crushing on coral right now so I chose to use coordinating coral prints from the Cottage Living collection to wrap my cans.

There is no shame in using store-bought wheat grass to fill your garden containers. No one will ever know the difference. Keep the wheat grass watered for a long lasting garden.

Bee and Butterfly Gardens by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Cottage and Home Grown collectionsGently coil floral wire around a pencil to create the springs that give the bees flight. Gently stretch the wire out and adhere the bees to the top.

Happy Easter!
Amanda
