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!
