If you’re looking to inject a little character into someone’s garden this summer then a sculpture can often be perfect.

Here is a pair of good value leaf-shaped sculptures from John Lewis that are completely weather and rust-resistant, meaning they can be left outside all year round without treatment.
They’re £190 for the pair and crafted from aluminium and given an antique bronze finish. Simply drive them into the ground to create an interesting feature and a great conversation piece at BBQs!
Is your mum a secret hippie?

They cost around £25 and hereyou’re your choices:
Wild Cherry Tree
Rowan Tree
Beech Tree
Hazel Tree
Hawthorn Tree
Holly Tree
Crab Apple Tree
Silver Birch Tree
Ash Tree
Oak Tree
Grey Willow Tree
Scots Pine Tree
Blackthorn Tree
Elder Tree
Every mum likes a bunch of flowers on Mothering Sunday… but rather than the same old roses, lilies or daffs why not give her something a little different this year.
Scented Narcissi are grown on the Isles of Scilly and only bloom between October and March, in fact harvesting these flowers is one of the last thriving cottage industries in the country.
For £33.75 you get 100 stems of Scented Narcissi which are delivered direct to your mum’s door in a midnight-blue biodegradable presentation box.
Brownie points here I come!

So “why an olive tree” I hear you ask… well, did you know Aphrodite, who the goddess of love, used olive oil as an aphrodisiac. And Cupid carved his bow from olive wood… so there you go!
