Fresh Flowers for Mom

May 6, 2023

Need something unique to do with Mom on Mother’s Day this year? After you’ve celebrated with brunch, take her out on Old Mission Peninsula to Lighthouse Lavender Farm for their opening day and Mother’s Day Plant Sale. Why lavender? In addition to being a beautiful burst of purple in your landscaping and a yummy treat for bees, lavender is known for its soothing properties and is thought to help with better sleep, lower blood pressure, and reduced pain from common ailments like headaches. Shop live plants and other lavender-inspired goods to help Mom have a calm and stress-free year. (Or at least a calm and stress-free day—that’s the least we can do, right?) The farm will be open from 10am-6pm on Sunday, May 14. Find Lightwell Lavender at 2150 Carroll Road in Traverse City, and get more details on their Facebook page @LightwellLavenderFarm or at getlightwell.com.
