Craig,
Maybe if you planted a section of garden specifically for your wife, even if
you took care of it (until or if her interest developed), brought her
flowers from it... She may develop a love of the garden, she may not. But
think of the blossoming in your relationship that will develop! Not many
women wouldn't be honored by that.
Let her pick the flowers from books, or surprise her completely by picking
the flowers yourself for specific reasons that relate to how you feel about
her. One flower reminds you of the color of her eyes, one of her hair. You
get the picture (I hope).
I don't know many women who would not be "in a puddle" over this. Am I
right ladies?

For mine is a little old fashioned garden where the flowers come
together to praise the Lord and teach all who look upon them to do
likewise.
