But now we are on to a month of football, groundhogs, and Valentines. I have always thought of February as the beginning of the springtime holiday season. Valentine’s Day kicks off a slew of holidays—St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, etc.—that help carry us into warmer weather and sunnier days. During the snowy weeks of waning winter, I hold tight to those holidays, looking to them as a lifeline. Simply put, they give me hope.
This week, I am thinking about Valentine’s Day. While it is often considered a romantic day for couples, I have always enjoyed spending February 14th spreading love to my friends, family members, and acquaintances. We could all use a little more love this year! And gardeners are in luck. Valentine’s Day is famous for its focus on flowers and plants. This year, I challenge you to forgo the typical bouquet of roses and try out something new: a winter container garden.
For an easy Valentine’s garden gift, look no further than one of my favorite winter container plants, String of Hearts. This delicate, trailing houseplant makes a sweet gift for those who appreciate all things green and growing. Winter plants and winter container gardens are excellent gifts, especially when placed in a carefully-chosen container and decorated with miniature accessories and fairies. Keep reading for some of my top ideas for Valentine’s Day scenes you can create in a winter container garden.
What will you create this season? While the cold and snow are keeping us inside, consider creating a winter container garden to gift to your loved ones. String of Hearts is one place to start, but there is a whole world of miniature plants that you could grow to love.
