Very nice Holly, bet your mum was pleased they were grown by you, Mr Gnome is raring to go and the little hedgehogs can light his patch up for him...

Lovely flowers for your mum,Holly.I would have been thrilled with them too.I was appalled to see that Asda were selling bouquets for £10 each,and not all that special either.! poor children who were with their dads,had no chance of getting a little bunch for their mums..I always tell mine not to get flowers for Mothers day..such a rip off at some places..I can have a nice plant for the garden at that price..! Love your lights and little gnome...very sensible children you have,Holly..:o)

wondeful flowers Holly, bet your Mum loved them, like your Mothers day presents, very nice, Bloomer, Lidl were doing mixed bouquet flowers for £2.79. and they were lovely, Like you said I stopped my son from sending through interflora, they were beautiful but outrageous, I used to do flower arrangeing for pubs and restraunts and I knew the prices, just a rip off,

Very thoughtful Holly, always nice to have flowers picke from your own garden makes it more personal somehow.

What lovely Mother's Day presents you received and gave. The flowers from your garden look a lot nicer than the expensive bouquets on sale.

Let us know how your little hedgehogs work won't you ?

I bet your mum was thrilled. such lovely natural flowers. you can't beat flowers from the garden, so personal and precious. Sacrificing the flowers from your own garden for your loved ones is so much more than just buying them! Love the hedgehogs too!
