If your mother or the special person with a uterus in your life doesn’t know what to do on their special day, here are just a few ideas for the weekend. On Saturday, Afternoon Tea for Mom at Capitello Wines calls for savory and sweet treats while sipping on hand crafted wines and sparkling beverages as the Eugene Youth Orchestra performs. Ages under 21 and non-alcohol drinkers will be offered Martinellis’ sparkling or juice. Then on the holiday itself, spend the morning at the Mother’s Day Plant Walk in Hendricks Park. Stroll through the park with a local herbalist and explore different plants and learn about medicinal herbs. If you’re feeling artsy, head to 5th Street Public Market for Art with Alejandro’s Paint and Sip — Mother’s Day Bouquet where you can learn step-by-step how to paint a colorful bouquet of flowers in a vase. In the evening, enjoy an event that is part exercise and part animal assisted therapy with Mother’s Day Original Goat Yoga Experience at No Regrets Flower Farm and Animal Sanctuary. The first half hour is dedicated to Goat Yoga and is followed by goat happy hour with wine and hot cider. Then go for a tour around the farm meeting the pigs and chickens.
