We are once again offering our Build a Hanging Basket for Mom event! It will take place Friday, May 9th from 3 pm to 5 pm, on a drop in basis. The hanging basket will be 8 inches in diameter and we will have a selection of flowers for the children to choose from to plant into the basket with team members available to assist.

This event is a fundraiser with all proceeds going towards a local charity. We suggest a donation of $10 per basket.
