Enjoy Music and Food in the Garden on Mother’s Day Weekend!

Music and the sweet scents from Street Treats will fill the air as you relax on the beautiful Rutherford Conservatory Terrace and tour the Garden with your mom. Classical guitar melodies  by Leon Christian will set the scene for a relaxing visit. Leon will perform from Noon to 3pm both Saturday and Sunday.

Each year in honor of our mothers, a beautiful plant is offered that represents all that we love about our mothers. Specially designed for Mother’s Day, the 2015 Mother’s Day Flower Collection features the  beautiful Rhododendron ‘Fragrant Star,’ considered by many to be the most fragrant deciduous azalea. Its large snowy white flowers top lovely blue foliage looking  like stars in the sky.

The Mother’s Day Flower Collection is a heartfelt gift that keeps on giving. Year after year it will remind mom of your love. They make the perfect living gift to commemorate Mother’s Day 2015 and beyond!

The Mother’s Day Flower Collection was launched in 2013 with Rhododendron williamsianum, followed in 2014 with Rhododendron ‘Wine and Roses.’ This year’s selection will be a perfect compliment – help your mom collect all of these specially selected plants.

Saturday and Sunday, 11 am – 3 pm:

Street Treats will be offering seriously delicious, seriously high-end and all homemade desserts plus refreshing beverages. Select the Mother’s Day Tea Plate Special and sip hot tea along with three delightful tea treats for only $6.00! Enjoy coffee roasted by Caffe Vita right in Seattle. Localvores rejoice! Leon Christian’s classical guitar music will provide the perfect compliment!
