Join us this Mother’s Day for a vibrant, hands-on celebration of art, nature, and family. Teaching artist Nicola Salino collaborates with Miami’s own florist art team, Paraíso Collective, to lead an immersive, flower-based art-making experience open to all ages and skill levels.

With the help of Paraíso Collective florists, select from an array of fresh seasonal blooms to design and assemble your own custom bouquets. Explore color, texture, balance, and fragrance to create meaningful floral arrangements for the motherly figure in your life.

Also craft a personal, handwritten and illustrated letter to accompany the flowers. With guidance from Nicola Salino, a nature illustrator of Miami’s native butterflies, flowers, insects, and flora, embellish your notes with botanical illustrations, dried flowers, and nature inspired details. Use the letter to express gratitude for others and reflect on the nurturing spirit often associated with motherhood.
