Gardeners are a proud lot and often love to show off their spaces.  Passing along plants and special treasures from the garden is also a favorite pastime.  In fact, there seems to be no end to the gifts we can create with our bounty. Herbs, flowers, leaves and even seeds can be turned into thoughtful gifts to give year round.  With little effort, you can create a variety of gifts from your garden.  Join garden enthusiast Ruthie Sullivan who will share her secrets for gifts that others will love to receive!
