This Mother’s Day Tell Your Mom: You Are My Sunshine!

Posted in Around the Garden on May 5 2011, by Ann Rafalko

Rhododendron mucronulatum 'Crater's Edge'There are many things we cannot predict in life, chief amongst them: The weather. And while the forecast for this weekend is looking a little gray, maybe we can all just use the drizzly weather as opportunity to tell mom, “You are my sunshine!” (come on, you know she sang that to you when you were little), while feting her over a delicious picnic amid the insanely gorgeous new Azalea Garden.

Call us hopeless optimists, but the weatherman does seem to be wrong more often than right. So don’t let the threat of a little rain scare you away. This weekend’s Garden Parties will go on, rain or shine. Picnics will be under the Picnic Pavilions. Activities will take place under a tent in the Children’s Adventure Garden. And the soft, gray tones will just make the unbelievable colors of the new Azalea Garden that much more spectacular! So come celebrate with us, and let your mother be the one who shines!
