A SOMERSET garden centre will be helping visitors get thoughtful gifts this Mother's Day by helping them get flowers according to their mum's star sign.

Staff at Monkton Elm Garden & Pet Centre at Monkton Heathfield near Bridgwater will be on hand to help visitors put a little thought into their gifts by matching their mum’s star signs to a flowering plant.

Andrew Pitman, store manager of the garden centre said: “If people are unsure of what to buy their mum for Mother’s Day then they can look to the stars for a little inspiration.

“Specific flowers are found to be appealing to certain astrological signs. By using flower astrology, we will be able to help customers give a gift the recipient will really love.

“If their mum is an Aries for example, they are known to be passionate and adventurous, their colour is red and their star sign plants would be red roses, tulips, amaryllis and thorn bearing shrubs.”

The garden centre is offering people the opportunity to find out more about flower astrology throughout March in the run up to Mother’s Day.

Andrew added: “People often give plants to others on special occasions but most of the time these are sent with the purchaser’s taste and preferences in mind. If you use flower astrology this can help you choose suitable floral presents without having to guess.”
