Square, and pick up fresh local produce for<br />

a home-cooked meal!<br />

Started in 1996 by the Community Redevelopment<br />

Agency, the GreenMarket has become<br />

one of the most popular and charming<br />

aspects of “the season” in Delray Beach.<br />

At the GreenMarket you’ll find more than<br />

65 premier food vendors featuring farm-tofork<br />

produce, just picked citrus, tropical fruit<br />

and juice, farm fresh eggs, raw milk and butter,<br />

artisan cheese and jams, fragrant baked<br />

goods, plenty of gluten-free, vegan and organic<br />

products, fresh cut flowers, plants and<br />

other unique gourmet fare along with live<br />

musical entertainment each Saturday.<br />

It won’t be difficult to whip up something<br />

special for Mom from the GreenMarket<br />

Cookbook ($12).<br />

The GreenMarket is at Old School Square<br />

Saturdays from 9am to 2pm through <strong>May</strong> 18,<br />

then moves to the Delray Beach Tennis Center<br />

Saturdays in June and July from 9am to 12pm.<br />

Culture<br />

We always recommend a visit to our<br />

jewel, Old School Square. Treat Mom to a<br />

membership, purchase a ticket to an upcoming<br />

show or simply visit the museum.<br />

You will not be disappointed. Or better yet,<br />

show your love by naming a seat in the<br />

Crest Theatre after your mother (we did):<br />

Call 243-7922 for more information.<br />

To get a taste of Delray’s diversity, visit the<br />

S.D. Spady Museum on Northwest 5th <strong>Ave</strong>.<br />

And for something different, check out<br />

the Morikami Museum and Gardens. Always<br />

a delight.<br />

If nature is Mom’s thing, don’t forget the<br />

Sandoway House Nature Center on A1A.<br />

Or a trip west to Hagen Ranch Road may<br />

be in order.<br />

Green Cay Nature Center overlooks 100<br />

acres of constructed wetland and provides<br />

educational opportunities about this unique<br />

habitat. The wetland features 1.5 miles of<br />

elevated boardwalk featuring interpretive<br />

signs about the habitat. The Nature Center<br />

includes a lecture hall, gift shop, and live<br />

animals in an extensive exhibit room that<br />

highlights wetland attributes.<br />

Finally, if Mom hasn’t been to the Arts<br />

Garage make sure to check it out.<br />

For an early gift, we recommend buying<br />

tickets to The Blues Beatles who will perform<br />

at the Arts Garage <strong>May</strong> 18 at 8 p.m.<br />

Blues Beatles is a blues band that mixes<br />

the melodies of the Beatles with traditional<br />

Blues arrangements, a mix that has been<br />

winning in Brazil, USA, and Europe. The<br />

band has worked and reworked many different<br />

songs since it was formed, but only<br />

the ones that sound natural to their ears<br />

stay in the repertoire.<br />

Pampering<br />

Once again, Delray is chock full of pampering<br />

options from yoga and fitness classes<br />

to massage therapy and skin care treatments—take<br />

your choice. Surprise Mom<br />

with a gift certificate and make sure to add<br />

a gift card for lunch.<br />

Happy Mother's Day!<br />
