Along with Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day is a very important day on the florist’s calendar.
Celebrated on the second Sunday in May (May 12th this year), the modern incantation of Mother’s Day as we know it, began in the early 20th Century, when American, Anna Jarvis, held a memorial to honour her late mother in 1908. After campaigning to make Mother’s Day a national holiday, in 1914, president Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation designating Mother’s Day as a national holiday to honour all mothers.
Because flowers are often a symbol of fertility & life, flowers have become a traditional gift for Mother’s Day.
So show your mum how much you appreciate her this Mother Day’s by giving her the gift of flowers!
Bloom College offers gift vouchers for our workshops and courses, so your mum can learn the art of flower arranging for herself!
