Flowers for Mom: A Mother’s Day Celebration

Sunday, May 10, 2026 from 1 pm – 3 pm. Celebrate Mother’s Day with a hands-on floral experience designed for families to create together. This DIY class is all about spending quality time, getting a little creative, and making something beautiful side by side.

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

Ticket Information:
