2. Mothers: eyes off! We want this day’s events to be a surprise! We want your turn in the Public Gardens, craft fair extravaganza-ing, and fancy brunch or lunch to be planned out by someone other than yourself. So please, STOP READING. Take your mother for a delightful walk around the Halifax Public Gardens this Sunday—any time she likes! All this rain has got to mean extra flowers! At the Bedford Basin Farmers Market, any time between 9 and 4, she can expect to be pampered at the Spring Crafters Showcase and Mother’s Day Extravaganza. Also on the Bedford Highway, there’s the Mother’s Day Brunch and Family Paint Pop-up Event at the Wedding Venue & Café; brunch is from 11-11:45, and the instructed paint session is from 12-1. Tickets for a family of 3 are $135.70. Hatfield Farm is offering a special lunch (a ¼ chicken dinner that includes Grandma Hatfield’s Veggie Medley and all they can eat pizza for the kids) for mothers and their families, opportunities to pet some animals, and access their brand new playground! Tickets for adults are $24.99, kids 3-12 $16.00 and they’re only available in advance by calling (902) 835-5676.
