Nothing shows the true meaning of Mother’s Day like a gift created by a child.
Edmonds in Bloom, a 501(c)(3) organization which delights us each July with the Garden Tour, will host a unique event this month just for children — Kids Plant for Mom’s Day. On Saturday, May 9, youngsters can create a special gift to present to their mom on Mother’s Day. With the help of volunteers, children can select a pot or planter to decorate with their own design.The volunteer gardeners will assist them with selecting suitable flowers for them to plant and provide soil and special tips about caring for their plants. In the end, lo and behold, the children will have a “living” gift for mom. Besides having a tangible gift they have created, the children may be inspired to learn more about flowers and gardens. And if a mom is lucky enough to have two or three children, planters could also be made for grandma or a favorite aunt to remember on Mother’s Day.
The event runs from 9am to 2pm at the farmers market at Fifth and Bell St. Volunteers with flowers will be ready to greet the children, and there is a $10 donation requested for each participating child.
While you are there, why not make a day of it? At 12pm, there is the Children’s Fairy Flower Parade that the children can join in front of the library at 650 Main St. Finally, those young budding artists are encouraged to make their own cards for Mom at no charge at C’est La Vie, which is located at 320 Fifth St. in Edmonds.
