Mother’s Day brings boom in flower sales across Maine

It wouldn’t be Mother’s Day without a stop at the florist.

According to Fox Business, about 154 million flowers are sold during the week of Mother’s Day. So it’s safe to say it was a busy day for stores like Estabrook’s Maine Garden Center and Nursery.

Plenty of families stopped by to pick out flowers on Sunday, looking to choose the perfect bouquet for their moms.

“I think Mother’s Day is tradition, you know, and so it’s great to see families here. We have a lot of new families that have come today for the first time with their young children and their mother. Watching the young kids and seeing how excited they are—their eyes light up at all the beautiful flowers,” Tom Estabrook, president of Estabrook’s, said.

Estabrook says Mother’s Day tends to be a great kickoff to the spring season.
