On Sunday, Mother's Day 2020 will become the latest holiday and rite of passage to be drastically altered in the world of the coronavirus pandemic.
However, many locally owned florists in metro Atlanta have shifted their business models to adapt to the current environment. If you’re looking to treat yourself or send an arrangement to a mom in your life, here are some local shops to consider.
While most are closed for in-person shopping, they are offering delivery or pickup options — before placing your order, you may want to call the store to confirm their delivery options.
