Go pick flowers with Mom!
Springtime is primetime for u-pick flowers in Tampa Bay and two of our favorite farms are Sweetfields Farm and Harvest Moon Fun Farm, both north of Tampa in Masayrktown. Not only do they have u-pick flowers, but plenty of farm activities for the kids and yummy snacks. You will need tickets to attend the events.
Tucked in Terra Ceia, just south of Tampa off the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, Ananda Farm is Tampa Bay's favorite agritourism escape for the whole family. Pick fresh blooms in the u-pick flower fields, enjoy live music daily, explore 10+ attractions, and dig into amazing food and drinks. On Mother's Day, moms get free admission, a free mimosa or beer, and fun crafts to make with the kids. It's the last weekend of the season, so make it count.
Take a class together!
There are so many ways to learn and get creative with Mom! We love the gift of a cooking class at Sur La Table, a flower arranging class, or even a chance to pour your own custom-scented candles at The Candle Pour.
