18 Beautiful (and Actually Doable) Plant Gifts for Teachers

Each year as the end of the school year approaches I start to think about easy teacher gift ideas. I admit, buying teacher gifts can be a bit of a challenge! What are good gifts for teachers? I love to give something useful, lovely, and reusable.

Plants and Flowers and Presents, Oh My

When my oldest child was in kindergarten I had a friend who was the master planner of teacher gifts. She started thinking about end of year teacher gifts so early each spring that she had time to grow gorgeous hanging baskets for all of her kids’ teachers. AMAZING!

I never seem to be that organized but I do love the idea of giving plants and flowers!

Plants, bouquets, and herbs make lovely inexpensive gifts for teachers that are sure to be appreciated.

(Bonus idea: These plants and flowers can also be used as teacher appreciation centerpieces.)
