Looking for an easy spring gift idea?

Plant up a 30-cm (12 in.) basket or patio planter with any of the herbs listed below (choose five plants – place one in the middle and four around the edges). Include an issue of GardenWise magazine and you’ve got an instant gift – one that says, “I care about your health and your garden!”

Try any of these herbs, which are all easy to find and use: basil, bay, cayenne pepper, fennel, garlic, lemon balm, parsley, peppermint or sage. For colour, nestle in some pansies or nasturtiums.
