Mothers. Where would we be without them? They bring us into this world, they raise us, teach us, feed us, clothe us, and then hopefully, they send us off to be a good person, and perhaps (at least for 51% of the population) to replay the same role as a mother, too. It’s a wonder that mothers only get one day dedicated solely to them! So, to thank mom for all she has done for you, why not do something nice for her?<\/p>\n

\"In<\/a><\/p>\n

At the Garden, we’re throwing a garden party over Mother’s Day weekend<\/a> in conjunction with the grand opening of our amazing new Azalea Garden<\/a>. The Opening Weekend Celebration<\/a>–May 7 – 8; 12-6 p.m–is a day full of picnic lunches<\/a>, lawn games, Azalea Garden tours, music, kites, the opportunity for kids to make a bouquet, just for mom, and much more. Picnic lunches must be ordered online, in advance<\/a>. Once at the Garden, pick up your lunch and then enjoy your day amid the sun-dappled, kaleidoscope of colors in this incredible new garden. Other food and beverages will be available for purchase on site.<\/p>\n

\"Dramm<\/a><\/p>\n

If your mom prefers to spend the day in her own garden (or maybe you can’t make it to New York), we’ve got you covered, too. The Shop in the Garden<\/a> features an extensive collection of beautiful (and functional) garden tools, including these rainbow-hued watering tools from Dramm<\/a>, these beauties featuring a Celia Birtwell<\/a> print, these cheerful pots made exclusively for NYBG<\/a>, the wonderful Sustainable Rose Garden<\/em><\/a>–edited by Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden curator, Peter Kukielski–and these super functional and stylish paper braid visors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"NYBG<\/a><\/p>\n

Maybe your mom prefers to keep her couture out of the garden? Then she’ll love this exclusive silk scarf created to celebrate the Garden’s 120th anniversary<\/a>. These sculptural wooden bracelets<\/a> are a big hit with fashionable moms amongst the Garden staff, as are these classic umbrellas<\/a> and fashionable, yet functional market tote bags<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you come to the Garden for Mother’s Day weekend, snap some pictures and share them with us on Twitter<\/a> (@nybg<\/a>), Facebook,<\/a> or in our Flickr Group Pool<\/a>. If we get enough pictures, we’ll post some of them here on the blog! For Mom!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
