    Flowering Plant Club

    No matter whether the garden-lover on your list is a putter-er or a landscaping pro, one thing we all share is a love of the outdoors. And one of the best gifts you can give during those bleak winter months is the gift of the outdoors. Several companies offer flowers-of-the-month deals where the ones you love receive a lovely arrangement of flowers or a blooming plant every month. You can purchase them in 3-, 6- or 12-month plans, and often the plants received can be transplanted outside when the weather turns warm. It's a great way to bring the outdoors inside for the garden lover on your list.
