Grow your own holiday souvenir

Going on holiday this summer ? Sun, sand and swaying palm trees maybe ?  Don't bother bringing home that bottle of  local liquor that tasted so good on holiday but somehow miraculously turns into a bottle of undrinkable poison the second your plane touches down.  

Plant a coconut instead. Just bring back a fresh one, Decorate it or just write the destination and date on it, (remembering to use a non toxic medium )and plant it.  

Coconuts make wonderful houseplants and will survive in most climates as an indoor plant. Remember to observe your local laws on what you can and can't bring back.

This link below will help you get started.'
