I know how to make them, but I am looking for a website or some other inspiration for decorating them. i.e. glass or stone imbedded in them or writing on them? I need pattern ideas.

Look up a book on making garden ornaments at the library. Also I think Michaels sells the kits. One idea is to make stepping stones, one for each person in the family and get each person to embed their handprints on each stone. Even the dog and the cat can get in on the act.

site.cleanairgardening.com In this segment, we look at five different items that are perfect gift ideas for women who love to garden. These items ...

My mom's birthday is coming up, and I have no idea what to get for her. I always find it hard to get gifts for parents since they are the ones with the money (just kidding). But really my mom seems to have averything she wants, and she didn't give me any clue when i asked. For the past few years I've made things, or gotten a nice perfume, and last mothers day I got her a nice wind chime that she loved, since she likes to garden.
Any ideas based on what I've said? also, I'm a poor college student, so something not too pricey!

Mom's love their children. If you have photo's of you & her or of some of your siblings. Make her a small photo album. I love it when my kids make me gifts, it's from the heart, then get her a card & put a note in there saying how much you love her, my daughter does this & it always brings tears to my eyes. Or give her a card & put I owe you in it, to a lunch, or dinner date with just you & her, moms love 1 on 1 time with there children. this is just a couple of ideas of things my kids have done for me.
Or you could go to a nursery & get her a plant, that she could put in her garden. Get one that blooms every year. Like a Rose of Sharon, or a Rose Bush. or a mum or a hibiscus. That way every year when it blooms she will think of you... Since she loves to garden...
Good Luck
I'm sure anything you give her, will make her happy...

Price: $22.63

Stainless steel pruning shears
Ergonomic grip cast aluminum trowel
Multi purpose pink gardening bag

i want to get all the grandkids to paint a tile and then frame them all together or paint rocks for her garden
how will i know what supplies i need?
and what kind of paint etc?

Boy I'll tell you some of the best gifts I ever got were the hand print stepping stones. They reminded me of how cute the kids and now the grand kids were and are. We used ours to make a path to the lilac I got for my 1st mother's day. Here are some links. Good luck!

She has her own little garden and I know sometimes you can plant bulbs in the winter for them to grow in the spring. Is there anything like that? Or just something i can get her to use in the spring.

You can get her a little garden carrier and fill it with bulb food, a bulb planter (you can get this stuff at a nursery), a pair of Felco pruner (maybe too expensive, if so, leave this out), a pair of gardening gloves, and scoop short-handled digger . . . and then, order her a few bulb catalogs (Scheepers has great pictures, or White Flower Farms, Bluestone perennials), roll them up and put them in, too. You can add a little watering can to the carrier (though it likely will just be for looks, not very functional).

She'll love it!

My aunt is not very girly. She is into motorcycles and gardening. She is going on a cruise later this year if that helps.

If she's into gardening, buy her some packets of seeds or some gardening tools that's she missing or are a bit old. If you would rather go down the motorcycling route then find out if she reads a particualr magazine and buy her a subscription for it. She should like these ideas as you would have clearly shown you care about her and know her interests
