Why celebrate Mothers Day?
Quite simply,…if it wasn’t for your mother, you wouldn’t be here today!
The moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of that wonderful mother of mine;
The birds never sing but a message they bring
Of that wonderful mother of mine.
Walter Goodwin, music, and Clyde Hager, lyrics,
"That Wonderful Mother of Mine."
Historic American Sheet Music, 1850-1920
The History of Mothers Day
The origin of Mothers Day started had its beginnings in Ancient Greece. This was part of an annual spring celebration to honour Rhea who was the Mother of Gods.
Other traditions included early Christians in England who celebrated Mothers Day as the fourth Sunday of Lent in honour of the Virgin Mary. Over time, this tradition has shifted to the American celebration of Mothers Day which had its origin from the Civil War. In 1907, Mothers Day became a national event in USA and in 1915, USA President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the 2nd Sunday of May as Mothers Day.
Mothers Day in Australia
The origin of Mothers day in Australia was first celebrated in Burwood Presbyterian Church in the 1920’s. The tradition was associated with giving fresh flowers to mothers as a symbol of love and gratitude.
Mothers day is a way to recognize the special role and contribution women make to firstly bring children into the world and the many sacrifices they make to care and nurture children as they become adults themselves. It is the way to send a heart-felt thank you to your Mum for everything she has done for you. This is best said with a beautiful bunch of fresh flowers which will undoubtedly delight any mother who receives it.

Some stories from Pearsons customers (to add yours, please email marketing@pearsonsflorist.com.au);
My mother and I have a small tradition on Mothers Day. Every year I buy her flowers and arrange them in her home (I did a Pearsons School of Floristry course 10 years ago). My mother adores the beautiful perfume that flowers such as gerberas, lilies and roses have and I love the sense of warmth the flowers bring into her home.
- Jodie (Sydney, Australia)
I moved to Australia from the UK fifteen years ago. My mother still lives in the same house in the UK where my brother and I grew up. Every year I send her a mothers day gift in the form of an arrangement, a different one each year! One year I was heavily pregnant and went into labour the Friday before Mothers Day. Lying in the hospital bed with my newly born daughter in my arms, I realised that I had forgotten to order flowers for my mother. I called Pearsons and they were able to arrange overnight delivery.
- Bethany (Sydney, Australia)
For Mothers Day, I celebrate by buying my mother a plant from the Pearsons store in Broadway. My mother spends a considerable amount of time in the garden and loves receiving plants as a gift.
- Howard (Sydney, Australia)
Every Mothers Day, our whole family joins my mother-in-law for the Sunday morning church service. The church has a lovely tradition, they present each mother in attendance with a bunch of Pearsons flowers beautifully gift-wrapped.
- Joanne (Sydney, Australia)
I met my husband on a business trip to Melbourne. When we married, I moved to Melbourne to live with him (much to the dismay of my mother). I try to spend each Mothers Day in Sydney with my mother, but when work commitments prevent this, I always send her a gorgeous arrangement from the Pearsons Florist website. Thanks Pearsons
