My mom loves to garden and Mother’s Day is the perfect time to give her plants, seeds, and gardening tools. 
Personalize your Mother’s Day gardening gifts with a pretty painted watering can and a matching painted Terra Cotta pot. Add some seed packets to the little garden pot and finish with a pretty Mini Bowdabra Bow.
Materials Needed:
Instructions:
1. Begin with a small Terra Cotta pot.
