Home Baking

Some of the most thoughtful gifts are those that we make ourselves. Why not do some cooking for Mum this Mother’s day – even better if you can use the produce from your garden.

We have some recipes like lemon cupcakes and creamy cauliflower soup to get you started here , or try www.foodlovers.co.nz for more ideas.

Garden Tidy-Up Voucher

If your Mum’s garden needs a bit of a makeover you could offer to give it a pre-winter spruce for Mother’s day. Make a Garden Tidy-Up voucher for her and get stuck in to the weeding and lawn mowing.
