Send Flowers To is a public art initiative led by The Wild Mother Creative Studio. When a compelling story arises, we create a large-scale floral installation in response to a social issue, injustice, or moment of collective grief. These offerings are both altar and protest—artful rituals meant to bring visibility, care, and truth-telling into public spaces.

Send Flowers To Greenwood was the inaugural activation of our Send Flowers To series—an artful, floral requiem marking the centennial of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, one of the most devastating acts of racial violence in U.S. history. Through flowers, performance, and collective grief work, we honored the lives lost, the generational trauma endured, and the enduring power of Black memory and resilience.

Send Flowers To MMIW is a floral outpouring created to bring visibility to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People (MMIWG2S) crisis across Turtle Island. This work was an offering of grief, remembrance, and advocacy for the countless Indigenous relatives whose stories remain unspoken, unsolved, and unmourned in mainstream culture.

Send Flowers To Survivors is the fourth activation in The Wild Mother’s Send Flowers To series—a large-scale, public floral installation that brought visibility and empathy to criminalized survivors of domestic violence in Oklahoma. Through beauty and truth-telling, we centered the stories of women and femmes who were punished by the justice system for acts of self-defense or survival.

In the language of The Wild Mother: Art is Medicine. Flowers speak where words fail. They carry grief, honor memory, and offer beauty as a form of protest and public care.

The Wild Mother is a floral design studio in Oklahoma City owned by three sisters who are Gullah, Malagasy, Choctaw and Mexican. Their creative work merges floral design, storytelling, and activism, honoring ancestral practices and communal healing.

Not at all. We welcome anyone with a willing heart. Because SFT is a big undertaking, our collaborations are not just limited to floral designers.

Our work draws from spiritual, ancestral and cultural practices of storytelling, communal celebration, education, and public grief. Send Flowers To is sacred, reflective, and inviting all people, aligned in connection and reverence.
