4th wedding anniversary: flowers and fruit
After four years, a marriage is like a garden that’s starting to bear fruit. The first flowers were lovely, but fruit is what shows the roots are holding strong. Flowers and fruit are also a reminder that nothing grows on its own: it takes watering and patience with the weather, and the harvest comes in its own time.
4th anniversary gift ideas
- A potted lemon or fig tree for the balcony, with a small tag showing your wedding date
- A bouquet every month for a whole year from a florist in your neighborhood
- A herbarium of flowers picked on your walks together, pressed and labeled with the place and date
- Jars and a recipe for cherry or quince preserves that you’ll only open on your fifth anniversary
- A tasting at a local vineyard, with one bottle set aside for a future anniversary
- A box of exotic fruit he’s never tried, to taste and guess with his eyes closed
- An apple or pear tree planted together in a family garden or allotment, with a dated tag
- A floral workshop where each of you arranges a bouquet for the other
- An evening of making jam from seasonal fruit, with the jars labeled with your anniversary date

How to spend the day
Go to a pick-your-own orchard and have a picnic with whatever you gather. In winter, swap the orchard for a palm house or the greenhouses of a botanical garden.
Tradition
A young apple tree usually takes a few years to bear its first fruit. Plant one on your fourth anniversary and it will give you apples on one of the next ones.
