This particular Purple Orchid comes ready for Mom to enjoy in your choice of ceramic planter with matching saucer. Psst.. if purple isn’t her color, opt for our
White Phalaenopsis Orchid instead!
2. The Linum Burgundy Bouquet (Shop Now)
Studies have shown even brief exposure to nature - like touching foliage, appreciating flowers, and enjoying natural materials - can elicit an unconscious calming effect. Gift Mom easy-on-the-eyes tranquillity with a dried, sustainable bouquet she can enjoy for years to come. Shop more dried flowers and dried bouquets for Mother’s Day delivery

Give her a hand and make her springtime ritual that much more enjoyable with a fresh pair of garden gloves.

Put your love for her on display with the cutest Hoya Heart Duo this side of the sill. These two low maintenance succulents come nestled in sustainable up-cycled planters with matching saucers. With proper care and patience, your Hoya kerrii cutting could start trailing in a few years, but we think it's adorable either way!

and thoughtful gift. Top off your tote gift by adding a complementary
Plant Mom pin.

Help Mom unwind with notes of
Palo Santo, Rock Rose and Cedar inspired by Japanese forest bathing. Added bonus: when this hand-poured, soy-based candle is fully burned, she can drop the included seed paper - culinary herb seeds embedded inside - and soil pod inside the terrazzo vessel to grow a mini herb garden.
Or gift Mom the gift of their choosing with a digital gift card. Available to give instantly, you determine how they receive their gift: delivered directly to their email inbox, a link for you to share with them, or as a print out. All methods include instructions on how to redeem.
