A Birthday Garden Who it's for? Baby, family and close friendsThe big plus Beautification of your baby’s future environment and the start of a living photo tradition.What the deal? You and the most important people in Baby's life plant perennial flowers and shrubs, or even better, a flowering tree, which will grow as the baby grows. If possible, pick a species of plant that blooms around the time of baby's birthday. Ask the guests to come prepared to dig a little garden in your yard or a local community garden before celebrating with cake. Then every year on your child's birthday, take a picture of him in "his" garden. If you want to go ahead and make this a “green” themed celebration, use recycled paper invitations, reusable or recycled plates and flatware, and ask your guests to bring seeds or plants as gifts for Baby.Extra Credit Make a little plaque for your garden or tree with your baby's name and age, and the date.Next: A mommie group gathering << Previous:
