The temperatures are warming, the sun is shining (mostly), and bees are starting to wake – it’s about to be full on springtime, which means it’s also time to gear up for Mother’s Day! As we reflect on the awesomeness of Moms, we couldn’t help but think about another amazing group – the Maryland Cut Flowers Association. Filled with moms who are growing beautiful flowers, it only seemed right that we would feature these hard-working mamas – and offer a great way to get local flowers for the mom in your life!
Below is a sample of some of the Maryland cut flower farms including the inspiring women behind them. We encourage you to take your mom or other moms you know out to the farms and enjoy a day of building bouquets. Many of them also have arrangements ready to go so that you can swing by and pick one up on your way to celebrate the mom or mom figure in your life!
Mother’s Day is May 12 and Maryland cut flowers are available year-round but especially in April-November.
