Click below to listen to my 2 min. Garden Bite radio show: Mother’s Day and flowers
This day was started by Anna Jarvis, it’s a totally American holiday. Jarvis eventually spent all her inheritance to get rid of the holiday after it became too commercialized for her taste! I’m so glad it continues today!!!!
This was when my mom and I would go shopping to fill her whiskey barrels with annuals.
It’s a BIG day for local garden centers! Strolling the aisles and aisles and putting on SMILES!
You might also think about offering a day of free labor to mom or anyone that can’t get out right now or play in the mud?
If your mom isn’t here anymore, you could consider planting a tree, shrub or perennial in her memory. I usually pick out some flashy annuals for her, she loved bright, happy flowers.
