Five green Mother’s Day ideas WWF April 28, 2015 Share: Share This Page: Share with Facebook Share via Twitter Share via Linkedin Share in email With Mother’s Day coming up (May 10) we want you to avoid the last minute scramble, so we have compiled some feel-good gifts for mom. Go above and beyond a green gift and spend some time in green spaces too! Spring is a wonderful season to experience nature and we want you to make Mother’s Day even more meaningful. Spend some quality time with your mom and loved ones outdoors. A mother kissing her young daughter in their candle-lit home. © Jeremiah Armstrong / WWF-Canada 1.

A virtual gift As summer approaches monarch butterflies are beginning to migrate to Canada and US. This a great time to learn about monarch butterflies, and keeping your eye out for them. Help protect the flights of monarch butterflies to Canada and give your mom a virtual gift! Your tax deductible gift of $50 can help ensure that the monarch butterfly population rebounds. Purchase your mom’s gift here. And, draw a butterfly to go along with the gift, with this butterfly colouring activity– great for kids too! Monarch butterfly © naturepl.com / Ingo Arndt / WWF 4. Take mom out No – we’re not talking about a brunch. Getting outside and connecting with nature is great this time of year. The flowers are blooming, the sun is shining and there’s many parks and trails all over this wonderful country. Go on a nature walk with your mom near a local trail or get outside for a Mother’s Day picnic. Rattray Marsh Conservation Area, Ontario, Canada. © Frank PARHIZGAR / WWF-Canada 5. Instead of buying mom flowers – plant some together May is also a great season for gardening flowers and plants. Get outside on or before Mother’s Day and plant with your mom. Plant a garden of flowers or even herbs and veggies! A vegetable plot in a garden. © Global Warming Images / WWF These are the gifts that keep on giving! We want to hear your green ideas for Mother’s Day and how you will be connecting with nature.
