Celebrating Mother’s Day

I had a fabulous Mother’s Day last week.

Here is my mom and my little munchkin.

I greeted all the extraordinary women in my life and got plants for my mother, mother-in-law, aunt, and sister-in-law.

My husband bought me flowers and I made beautiful arrangements with them.

Overall, a great day!

Queens Perennial- Flower CSA

I first heard about Queens Perennial through a friend’s Instagram post last year. The CSA partners with Luna Family Farm to offer flowers each week from May to October. I knew I wanted to take part this year because who doesn’t want amazing flowers each week!

I’ve loved all the flowers so far. Check out the beauties I received…

Rose Quince
Snowballs and Lilacs
Peonies and Crimson Clovers
Peonies
Pastel Yarrow
Sunflowers
Snapdragons
Lisianthus
Marigolds
Lisianthus
Rudbeckia
Cockscombs
Teddy Bear Sunflowers and Amaranth
Aster

Each week, I get a new bouquet and instructions on how to take care of it. Besides appreciating the beautiful flowers, I also enjoy learning about each one. Most of the flowers I’ve never heard of.

The CSA has four locations to pick up from (Astoria, Jackson Heights, Greenpoint, and Williamsburg). If you are interested in learning more and signing up for the last six weeks, check out queensperennial.com.
