Visit a Botanical Gardens | Saturday May 10 or Sunday, May 11
I’ve always loved the way motherhood mirrors the beauty and complexity of a blooming garden—growing seasons, quiet moments, and unexpected bursts of color. So what better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than with a fresh cup of coffee in hand, maybe a good book tucked under your arm, and a slow, intentional walk through a local botanical garden?
Whether you’re surrounded by tulips or trailing wisteria, there’s something deeply calming and symbolic about nature in full bloom. It’s the perfect setting to reflect, connect, and simply be.
Don’t forget to bring your camera—or simply your phone—to capture a few frames of your time together.
P.S. If you’re a part of the Film & Frame Series, this is a perfect opportunity to use one of the storytelling prompts during your garden visit. Let the surroundings inspire you and document the beauty of motherhood in its most natural form.
