Do you like to receive surprises in the mail? Almost everyone sends greeting cards to someone during the year. It is important to remember birthdays and anniversaries of those people who are dear to us. A way to make your card more memorable is to enclose a small packet of seeds for flowers, vegetables or herbs from your own garden. These seeds, when given to friends who are moving, can become the basis of a "remembrance garden" when grown in their new home.
