Juliana Village Activities Program – May 2018 Happy Mother’s Day My Mother Kept a Garden And Grandma's too... My Mother kept a garden, a garden of the heart, While we honour all our mothers She planted all the good things that gave my life it's start. with words of love and praise. She turned me to the sunshine While we tell about their goodness and encouraged me to dream, Fostering and nurturing and their kind and loving ways. the seeds of self-esteem... And when the winds and rain came, We should also think of Grandma, she protected me enough- she's a mother too, you see.... But not too much because she knew I'd need to stand up strong and tough. For she mothered my dear mother Her constant good example as my mother mothers me. always taught me right from wrong- Author Unknown Markers for my pathway that will last a lifetime long. I am my Mother's garden. I am her legacy- And I hope today she feels the love reflected back from me Author Unknown Juliana Village Activities Program – May 2018 Many Australians celebrate Mother’s Day by showing their appreciation for the achievements and efforts of mothers and mother figures. It is annually observed in Australia on the second Sunday of May. Mother’s Day events and activities may include: Organized walks or runs to raise money for causes such as breast cancer research. Visits to the zoo, movies, or botanical gardens, or other places of interest. Breakfasts, brunches, lunches, afternoon teas or dinners at restaurants, cafes, or at home. Handmade gifts or cards being presented to mothers or mother figures. Flowers, chocolates, clothing, gift vouchers and other gifts that are given to mothers or mother figures. Mother’s Day poems being printed, broadcast, or presented to mothers and mother figures. Mother’s Day stories being publicized in magazines, newspapers, radio, television or the internet. Many families may also spend the day having a picnic in the park or the beach on Mother’s Day, if the weather allows it. Background Many Australians follow the Mother’s Day traditions that stem from observances in countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom. The Mother’s Day date in Australia is the same as the date observed in the United States, which is the second Sunday of May each year. However, it is an Australian who is credited with having started the tradition of giving gifts on Mother's Day: Janet Heyden, a resident of Leichhardt Sydney, started a campaign in 1924 to collect gifts for lonely aged mothers. Symbols Flowers, chocolates, and cards are popular gifts to symbolize one’s love and appreciation for their mother or mother figure. The carnation is a type of flower that is particularly symbolic of Mother’s Day for some people. Its importance as a Mother’s Day symbol is linked to Anna Jarvis, who is believed to have sent white carnations for a Mother’s Day service in West Virginia, in the United States, on May 10, 1908.

After thinking for a few seconds, the Harry said, “What are those good smelling flowers called again?” “Do you mean a rose? The first man questioned. “Yes, that’s it,” he exclaimed.
