Why settle for a bouquet that lasts a week when you can give Mom a memory that lasts a lifetime? Join us at the Blooming Blossoms studio in Silver Spring for a Mother’s Day experience that goes beyond a traditional gift.

Our upscale, two-hour workshops are a calming escape where you’ll learn the art of floral design. We’ll guide you through creating a premium seasonal arrangement while you sip on refreshments and enjoy gourmet pastries in our relaxing, light-filled space. Sessions are available throughout the week leading up to Mother’s Day and Mother’s Day weekend. It’s the perfect way to pause, bond, and each create a gorgeous arrangement to take home.

Grab your tickets today – mom, friend, mentors, grandmothers are all welcome. Use code MOCO7 for $7.00 off your booking!

Born in the shadows of the now famous fallen statues of Richmond, VA, Greg Greenway moved to Boston for its rich Folk Music tradition. He has since become one of its most unique and superlative emissaries. Musically raised on the magically percussive right hand of Richie Havens, and the flowing lyricism of Eric Andersen, these seminal influences became the DNA of his own unique and continuing growth. He has blended them into a multi-instrumental, genre crossing style. Greg has played Carnegie Hall, been heard on NPR’s All Things Considered, Mountain Stage, and Car Talk. He is a founding member of Brother Sun with Joe Jencks and Pat Wictor, and with Reggie Harris he presents Deeper Than The Skin, a musical program examining race relations.

“Greg Greenway is one of those artists who is so rich a talent that it is difficult to categorize him. He traverses, combines and mixes up musical genres, and manages to open a window on global events that bring us together as citizens of the world. Like other great performers before him, Greenway’s message is that we can all play a part and make a difference in the course of both our private and public lives. But few musicians can do just this with such style, passion and sheer musicality.”
