Flowers for Mom: A Mother’s Day Celebration

Celebrate Mother’s Day with a joyful, hands-on floral experience designed for families to create together. This lighthearted DIY class is all about spending quality time, getting a little creative, and making something beautiful side by side. We’ll start with a short floral demo to spark ideas, then it’s time to design! Each family group will create a small floral arrangement using floral foam in charming flower boxes available in a variety of colors, perfect for gifting or displaying at home. No experience needed, just curiosity and creativity! Come make memories, share laughs, and celebrate.

To keep things festive, enjoy casual brunch style snacks while you design, including lemonade and sparkling citrus drinks to toast the occasion.
