Get ready, get set, it’s almost Father’s Day. Fathers work hard all year long. Today is dad’s day to relax and have fun. And don’t forget, grandfathers are dads too! Now...let’s take it up a notch. If your Dad is a patio barbeque Daddy-o, plant a big patio container or two with a few veggies that he can cook up on the grill later this year: peppers, tomatoes, onions, and maybe some cilantro or basil. Or how about that shade tree that he needs in the backyard? You know...the tree that will shade him while he is in dreamland in his hammock or chaise lounge? Come into the garden center and we’ll help you pick the best one for him. Bring dad along, he might have a special one in mind already. You can plant it together with him and watch it grow over the years, while you are growing too. Most of all make sure all the dads are given "Royal Treatment." Fix him breakfast. Have a Father's Day BBQ or picnic in your garden. Do things that will let him know he's "King" for the day. And you know what else is fun? Getting Dads to tell you about themselves growing up. Here are a few things you can ask him about: his favorite color, the best movie he ever saw, his most memorable moment with you, his best friend, his hobby, favorite food, animals he likes, or even his most embarrassing moment and happiest moment.
