DOUG’S GARDENING BLOG – We Are A Garden’s Haven for Gifts Awaiting Dad for Father’s Day

FATHER’S DAY IS SUNDAY, JUNE 21st. HONORING ALL FATHERS AND FATHERHOOD

Just a little history with Father’s Day:

1. First observed in Spokane, Washington in 1910.
2. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson wanted to make the 3rd Sunday of June a recognized federal holiday.
3. In 1966, President LBJ issued the first presidential proclamation to make Father’s Day a national holiday.
4. In 1972, President Richard Nixon made it a permanent national holiday.

Any dad who gardens would appreciate a Father’s Day gift with a garden theme.

Here are a few suggestions that will help you show how much he means to you:
