Planting Seeds of Friendship

"A sweet friend of mine, included a seed packet in my birthday card this year," shares Adina Bailey. As I was planting the seeds and enjoying the weather outside, I started thinking of all the meaningful reasons you could give a packet of seeds to a friend. They are easy to enclose in a greeting card and don't even require extra postage if you're mailing a single packet.

You could send a seed packet to a friend to:

• Remember her birthday (pick her favorite flower or color)

• Plant in memory of a loved one (Forget-Me-Nots can be a thoughtful choice)

• Cheer her up (Sunflowers or Zinnias are bright)

• Have some blossoms to look forward to after surgery

• Celebrate a child joining the family

• Plant at a new home
