Fresh-picked flower arrangements from the garden.

Happy Mother’s Day Bouquet

Lisa's Landscape & Design ♦ 05/12/2024 ♦ 2 Comments

On this day in celebration of Mother’s Day, Mother Nature, and Mother energies, we will glory in the flower bouquets that can be given on this special day. Instead of a one-time flower arrangement, why not give the whole darn plant that can bring happiness throughout the year? From flower bed to table, these flower choices will make great landscape plants and beautiful Mother’s Day bouquets throughout the growing seasons.

Why Buy Store-Bought Flower Bouquets for Mother’s Day, When You Can Give the Whole Garden?

Store-bought flowers are grossly overpriced during special holidays and often grown and picked unsustainable and unethically. By growing your own cut-flower garden, you can select plants that bring you happiness all year!
