Scene in Edmonds: Kids dig in to create special Mother’s Day gifts

Will you chip in to support our nonprofit newsroom with a donation today? Yes, I want to support My Edmonds News!

Evelyn Harlow, 3, gets her choice of plants.

Oliver, 5, prepares a plant for his mom’s gift basket.

Emily Harlow, 6, seems pleased with the result of her work.

2-year-old Coraline from Richmond Beach looks on as mom puts the final touches on her basket.

Once again, Edmonds In Bloom was on hand with sacks of planting soil, brightly-colored buckets and shovels, and stacks of flats with petunias, lobelia and more — all so kids could assemble that one-of-a-kind Mother’s Day gift: A personally-planted flower basket.

“We had more than 100 kids show up and sign in today,” said Edmonds in Bloom volunteer Kate Griffin. “It’s a bit less than last year, but I’m sure the pouring rain this morning kept many at home.”
