Mother’s Day Floral Design Workshop - May 10th

Give Mom something she'll actually remember this Mother's Day. This hands-on floral design workshop is the perfect spring experience for mothers, daughters, and anyone who wants to celebrate the season with something beautiful and meaningful — no experience necessary.

In this immersive floral arranging workshop, you'll learn how to build a lush, garden-style arrangement from scratch using chicken wire, a timeless and sustainable floral mechanic that lets your blooms breathe and move naturally. Walk away with a stunning arrangement you made with your own hands — and a Mother's Day memory worth more than any bouquet from a store.

But it's more than just florals. Working with flowers is a proven mood-booster — research shows that hands-on floral design measurably reduces stress and anxiety, making this one of the most restorative and feel-good things to do this Mother's Day in the D.C. area. Think of it as the most beautiful kind of self-care.

Limited spots available — this is one of the most unique Mother's Day activities in the area.
