Ivanka Trump revealed the intimate, meaningful gift she shares with her closest friends May 26 in an Instagram Story.

“Small baskets of fresh produce from our kitchen garden has been one of my favorite things to bring to friends homes when I visit this season,” it read. Her personal note gave her 8.3 million followers a glimpse into the simple joys she treasures during her downtime and the happiness she extends while sharing her harvest with loved ones.

Trump has long-shared the art of gardening with her little ones.
Her most recent post is one of many insightful, behind-the-scenes expressions of her love of gardening.
Trump shared family photos on Facebook in 2016, showing the family taking part in gardening activities.
“There are few things better than spending a hot summer evening in the garden with these next gen green thumbs!” she wrote at the time.
Trump detailed her appreciation for growing her own produce in a lengthy social media post shared November 2024.
“The holiday season is the perfect time to reflect on the journey of the food that nourishes us. More than ever, it’s important to reconnect with where our meals come from—and teaching our children the value of locally grown, nutrient-rich whole foods is one of the most meaningful and lasting lessons,” she wrote.
Trump continued, “For our family, planting a garden has always been a cherished tradition. From windowsill herb pots when the kids were little to the backyard garden we’ve recently planted together here in Miami, it has always been about more than just growing food. It’s about spending time together with our hands in the dirt, cultivating a connection to the natural world, understanding the importance of healthy soil, and making thoughtful choices that honor both our bodies and this planet.”
Her connection with the earth is a meaningful one to Trump.
“Tending to our garden instills a sense of responsibility in our children, as each of them has their own tasks, while also nurturing mindfulness and gratitude for the Earth’s many gifts. Watching what blooms and thrives with the changing seasons teaches them that nature has its own rhythm—and that when we align with it, we are more in tune with the world around us,” she said.

She went on to say her personal garden is “a powerful reminder of the dedication and resilience of American farmers, who work tirelessly to feed us often against great odds. Supporting practices like regenerative farming not only sustains the land we depend on but also ensures that future generations can continue to enjoy its bounty.” (RELATED: Ivanka Trump Shares Photo Dining With Iconic Comedian Theo Von)
