gifts for her garden image
Q. I am a life scout and i want to make a memory garden for my church for my eagle project and i dont know what types. i want plants that bloom year around and all so, if u have any thing to help me out with plants, ideas on how to get donations, and umm mabye advice on a memory thanks a lot
Answer
Cameron, the plant donations should primarily come from the church membership itself. Each family could donate a plant, depending on where your garden will be placed (shadey, sunny, or semi-shadey location). You might want to make small signs for each plant, telling people what the plant is and who it is in memory of.
At this time of year, church members could also buy some new tulip bulbs or other spring bulbs to add to your garden.
Some good hardy perennials? Daylilies, peonies, sedum, tiger lilies, asiatic lilies, irises, and daisies. And mums really add a lot of fall color.
A little shrub rose would look nice too.
You might too want to ask for money so you can buy seeds or annual plants for next year to add to the garden in the spring. If it is a really sunny place, throw some moss rose seeds near the front. This is a type of plant that reseeds itself every year too. Allysum is another fine border plant.
Another thing you are going to have to consider too is who is going to take care of your garden once you are finished. Who will water it? Who will weed it the next year? See if someone will help you out there from the congregation membership. Remember, everyone has certain "gifts" given to them in a church, and there are people in your church who were blessed with green thumbs.
Good luck! A great idea for an Eagle Scout project!

I have a friend I work with that was recently promoted to being a manager of a team. I am looked for good suggestions for some gifts for her. They must travel well - wither through mail or via air travel as I will be visiting her next week.
Answer
Money plant and a card
flowers
maybe a zen garden
maybe a travel book or any sort of book that can help pass time on a plane or waiting in line!
