There’s a reason why greenery is a go-to gift…

Whether it’s your partner, grandparent or workplace Secret Santa, plants have long been a fail-safe present. Not only are they aesthetically pleasing, but greenery is long- lasting and positively impacts our mental wellbeing (recent studies by The University of Technology Sydney found plants reduce anxiety and tension by 37 percent). Here are some plant presents to pop under the tree, all available from Norwood Garden Centre.

Herbs

Perfect for the foodie in your life, easy-to-care herbs in cute planters will help your loved ones establish a flourishing kitchen garden on their windowsill. Mint, basil and thyme are good go-to’s for summer growing.

Hydrangeas

The prettiest of plants, hydrangeas come in a range of colourways, including pink, blue, white and purple and can even change colour. Perfectly potted or planted in cottage gardens.

Orchid

An orchid is a good substitute for a bouquet, with its petals blooming for up to 12 weeks. Plus, if given the right level of care, potted varieties can live for about 15 years – talk about a gift that stands the test of time! Keep the low-maintenance plant in bright light and water weekly.
