Approximately 122 million phone calls will be made on this holiday, and one-fourth of all the flowers purchased throughout the year will be bought this weekend.

If Mom enjoys classical music, treat her to brunch at Don Hall\u2019s Gas House (305 E Superior Street, Ft. Wayne) followed by a concert curated by the Ft. Wayne Philharmonic. \u201cShining River\u201d will be presented at Rhinehart Recital Hall, Rhinehart Music Center, Purdue University Fort Wayne from 2-4 p.m. <\/span><\/p>\n

If gardens are more her thing, visit the Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory (1100 S. Calhoun Street, Ft. Wayne) for Mother\u2019s Day in the Garden. Instead of buying her flowers, you can purchase plants at their plant sale. The conservatory will be open from 12-4 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n
