Mother’s Day is nearly here. (It’s May 11, for those who need a gentle reminder!) And what better way to celebrate Mom — or the women who hold that exceptional role in your life — than taking her on an enchanting outing in The Woodlands? From roses to caviar to a final taste of sweetness, Mom is sure to feel appreciated on this tour of sensory delights.
First Up: Life In Rose Farm
With over 6,000 roses in full bloom, Life in Rose Farm — the only rose farm in the South — is a memorable outing to honor moms of all kinds, or the special woman who has sowed love into your life. May's cool mornings make it the perfect time to sip afternoon tea amid the myriad roses bred onsite. Inside the renowned Glass House boasts a one-of-a-kind view of the stunning rose gardens.
Looking for a unique gift? Don't just smell the roses, pick them! Select 10 to 12 stems at the Rose Bar to arrange in a Mason jar, and bring home a memento of your day together. But start the tradition now! This space is sold out every season.
Next Up: Truluck’s
After Life in Rose Farm, plan to walk through the shops at Hughes Landing and make a reservation for lunch at Truluck’s. Truluck’s is a memorable meal for mothers and grandmothers, with plant-based and gluten-free options. Order the miso-glazed seabass or chicken stroganoff for lunch, or indulge in an even more succulent dish: caviar. TRU Caviar Service, Truluck's caviar brand, provides a luxury lunch experience that accompanies either vodka or tequila pairings for your special day out. Even better? Toast to giving back! Truluck’s donates $1 from every espresso martini or French-pressed coffee order to the PTSD Foundation of America’s Camp Hope.
Last Up: Oddfellows Ice Cream Co.
End the day on a sweet note with dessert at OddFellows Ice Cream Co., a new, exciting eatery where creativity and flavor collide! OddFellows strives to be the most exciting — and indulgent — part of your day. Their ice cream bases are pure perfection: just sugar, cream, and eggs sourced from Eastern Pennsylvania and made from scratch in New York City. They also offer several ice creams with non-dairy milk alternatives, such as cashew milk and coconut milk, for any moms who might be lactose intolerant! This is quality ice cream you need to experience!
Who says you have to drive downtown to shower Mom with love?

You didn't hold me at birth, but you have caught me when I've fallen. You weren't there for my first steps, but there were many first steps in this life. I'm so grateful for you.
