Mother’s Day is just around the corner (May 12th this year!), making now the perfect time to create a lasting memory with your mom.
Need inspiration? Many families cherish the tradition of picking out flowers together. Country Gardens, a local plant nursery run by Lori and John at The Agricenter in Memphis, is a great place to start your own tradition.
Lori understands the magic of Mother’s Day. For 22 years, she’s worked alongside her own mom, best friend, and their daughters, making it a special day for families to celebrate together.
“A lot of kids like to bring their moms to the nursery on Mother’s Day, and a lot of them buy gift certificates from us and give them on that day, so they’re anxious to come here and pick out what they want,” Lori says.
This Mother’s Day, consider starting a tradition of your own! Visit Country Gardens at 7858 Smythe Farm Rd, Memphis, TN 38120 and let Lori help you find the perfect plants for your mom.
Here are some additional ideas:
-
- Go beyond flowers: While flowers are beautiful, consider a potted herb garden, a low-maintenance succulent, or even a small vegetable plant starter kit if your mom enjoys gardening.
- Personalize it: Pair the plants with a handwritten card or a framed photo for a more sentimental touch.
- Make it an experience: Turn picking out plants into a fun outing. Maybe grab lunch together afterward or enjoy a cup of coffee while browsing the nursery.
By creating a tradition centered around quality time and shared interests, you can make Mother’s Day truly special for years to come.
