My sister's doing a cactus garden for my mum...she's always wanted one, but never got around to it, so sis bought the stuff and is gonna do it before Christmas.

What's she into? Does she cook? How about a massive long planter with all herbs planted in it? So it can be kept just outside a door, and she can grab herbs whenever she wants?

Do they have a deck/veranda of some sort? How about a hammock chair? Perfect and relaxing for summer. Good for swings and snuggles with grandkids too.
