There has to be an unseen connection or force to explain why women have such a powerful affinity for flowers. Throughout the ages and even today, women have often been compared to blooms as a compliment to their appearance or time of life, and the feminine biological link to floral beauty and fertility is a tale as old as time. The idea of giving life is a magnificent one, and why we celebrate mothers in such a special way. If you are looking for a unique gift this year for your mom or the mother of your children, why not look to the garden for inspiration? But, this year, instead of the usual floral arrangement, take it a step further with an everlasting piece of jewelry or an accessory that she can wear forever. 

Below, find eight nature-inspired gifts that will serve as a permanent mark of gratitude.
