Do you have a girlfriend or a wife? Do you live in the same place? Do you wish you could show here how much you care by doing something special that will not break the bank? If you said yes, planting a garden could be the solution.

Before doing anything yourself, buy a gardening book so you will know what to do and the expectations. These are usually cheap, particularly the smaller handbooks and miniature guides. You can find them at most tool, grocery, home, super, and outdoor stores. With books, you are able to figure out what is needed in order to plant things and how much maintenance and time is going to be involved.

Even if she wants a rhodium plated ring, you can please her with the surprise of flowers. They will not be the run of the mill store bought kind, but instead special ones in all different colors and types. Does she have a favorite flower? If so, plant lots of them so when she steps outside and sees them, she will feel special.

A very popular choice are roses. You can find seeds of any color she is fond of easily. Traditional red, yellow, pink, purple, and white are some of the options. You can get varieties that grow in numerous sizes, such as huge rose bushes to tiny ones. You should take a look at the dimensions and overall size of the lot you own because that can help you decide which size variety is appropriate.

Look at each location to find the best place to start planting all the things. Remember to find the areas that do and do not get sunlight. Areas that get a lot of light produce more, while shaded areas do not. Plants use the sun as a food source so location is very important and needs to be thought about.

If she loves designer shoes, but they are out of your price range, get her a pair of leather brown boots that do not cost a lot. These are not for style purposes, they are for durability. Get them and let her know the reason is because now she can wear them outside with you so gardening can be an activity to do together. This way you spend quality time together.

If being on a budget frustrates you but making something special for her is a priority, plant a garden. It will not cost a lot depending on what will be planted. Flowers and grass do not cost anything really so they are good options.
