Penny’s By Plaza Flowers
In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson declared Mother’s Day a National Holiday. The second Sunday in May is always Mother’s Day so this year the date is May 9th. It is a special day to celebrate all mothers and the wonderful things they have done and continue to do for our betterment. Of course every day we try to honor our mothers but they deserve a special day named for them.
Mother’s Day should be filled with great loving memories. After all this special lady took care of you when you were sick, attended your school events and was someone you could talk with any time. This is the one day per year that everything revolves around showing mom how much you love her. A great way to show mom how much you care is to give her a gorgeous flower arrangement from Penny’s By Plaza Flowers.
An age old tradition is to take mom out for brunch or dinner at her favorite restaurant on Mother’s Day. While this has become a favorite tradition for many families, there are numerous other activities you can do to show mom a good time and create some loving memories.
While social distancing is still somewhat of a thing, below are some simple yet meaningful things you might consider for in home or smaller gatherings:
- Decorate her front door with a festive wreath or flowers.
- Join her virtually for a bucket list checkoff.
- Take an online cooking or dance class together.
- Host a virtual happy hour.
- If she is nearby perhaps give her a manicure at her home,
- Have a picnic in the backyard
- Have an in home wine tasting party.
To really be a hit with mom and make Mother’s Day spectacular, give her a beautiful flower arrangement, green plant or gift basket from Penny’s By Plaza Flowers.

Penny’s By Plaza Flowers has been voted as “Best Florist” by several regional publications, Pennsylvania’s “Florist of the Year” and have been ranked as a “Top Florist” by three national wire services. We guarantee on time delivery to the entire Philadelphia region seven days per week. Each and every member of the Penny’s By Plaza Flowers team is committed to the company mission of making Penny’s By Plaza Flowers the first choice in flowers shops. We want our customers to think of us first and go no where else to shop. Penny’s By Plaza Flowers has been selected to design flowers for thousands of weddings, three presidential inaugurations, and the GOP 2000 Convention in Philadelphia.
Our founder, Dottie Drummond, purchased a small flower shop in 1983. Her sales volume out grew that store in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. Eleven months after the grand opening she purchased her second location in Norristown, which was planned to support the primary sales location in King of Prussia by housing the offices, warehouse, and design facility. This new location became one of the busiest intersections in the Philadelphia region.
Dottie’s success was the result of a very simple philosophy: “Deliver beautifully designed fresh flowers everyday.” Many people thought she was crazy. Everyday? Even evenings and Sundays? No florists are open on Sunday. She understood that Plaza Flowers had to be available for every occasion, even evenings and Sundays.
Mrs. Drummond instilled the customer first attitude into every member of her team, including her daughter, Heather, and son Chris, who now run the family business. Chris and Heather have worked hard to make sure every customer gets the personalized attention that Mom promised. This was expanded to a national level as Chris and Heather developed a network of affiliate florists throughout the country.
Quality was improved even more when Heather began sourcing the finest quality flowers direct from farms around the globe. Selling only the freshest blooms from farms in Holland, Ecuador, Columbia, Costa Rica, Hawaii, and California strengthened Plaza Flowers’ position as Pennsylvania’s leading florist.
