Support Baby Pollinators

If you love pollinators as much as we do, you’ll know they love native plants. But what we don’t love is the stress of trying to find the right plants for the right region. Garden for Wildlife, from the National Wildlife Federation, has curated collections of native plants that support the most species of bees, birds, and butterflies – and all selected by region. These beautiful blooms are proven to double wildlife to garden in just one season and add variety, color, and texture. Once they arrive, grab a shovel and help your mom plant with a purpose.

Weeding Robot

While some people love weeding, there are always other things Mom could be doing. Created by the inventor of Roomba, the Tertill weeding robot organically controls weeds, eliminating the need for herbicides and weed block. How does it work? Its wheels churn up the top layer of soil, looking for baby weeds and chopping them down before they have a chance to grow. Love that! Solar-powered and weatherproof, this handy device is as effective as hand weeding – but so much easier.
