local mother's day shopping ideas

Molly Wood Garden Design

Instead of gifting mom with the over-done bouquet of standard flowers, give her a beautiful succulent arrangement from Molly Wood Garden Design that will last for months. This drought-friendly alternative is beautiful and low maintenance - she doesn't need to get a vase or change the water. 

And a succulent arrangement is perfect for her to take to her office or place anywhere around the house! Molly Wood Garden Design has locations in Costa Mesa and Laguna Beach and they can create a completely custom succulent arrangement for mom.
