When I was a little girl my mother loved to spend Mother's Day at Lilac Sunday at the Arnold Arboretum. According to the Arboretum's website, the annual Mother's Day tradition is described as:
"Of the thousands of flowering plants in the Arboretum, only one, the lilac, is singled out each year for a daylong celebration. Tours of the lilacs, dance performances, picnicking (allowed on this special day only), and family activities make for a memorable day. Be a part of this beloved Boston tradition!"
I have such wonderful memories of spending Lilac Sunday running around with my parents and little sister. The festivities are today from 10:00am - 4:00pm and this year the Arboretum will also be visited by the Clover food truck, the Cupcakory food truck and Taza Chocolate!
It brings such a smile to my face to remember those sunny, spring days at Lilac Sunday with my family. I hope you all are celebrating Mother's Day with loved ones today and enjoying this gorgeous, Boston day!
