Send Flowers To Tomorrow
A call to remember humanity. A call to restore dignity. A call to dream. A call to build. A call to imagine the future.
October 28, 2025 (OKC) and November 6-8, 2025 (Miami), The Wild Mother Creative Studio invites the public to witness and participate in Send Flowers To Tomorrow, the latest activation in their ongoing series of public floral outpourings. This installation, grounded in the tenderness of courage and the fire of hope, is a plea for a future where everybody is safe, loved, and free. This SFT iteration is rooted in love and solidarity with Dreamers (DACA recipients), migrant workers, farm workers, and asylum seekers—those who have crossed borders, buried grief, and carried the courage to build home where their roots will flourish.
In partnership with Golden Flowers, a floral importer and distributor based in Miami, FL whose team holds deep compassion and familial ties to the immigrant story, this work continues the mission of #SendFlowersTo. Together, The Wild Mother and Golden Flowers aim to amplify the humanity, resilience, and sacred worth of immigrants in this country.
This installation is also a deeply educational offering—illuminating the history of human migration, the colonial invention of borders on Turtle Island, and the often complex, unjust pathways to citizenship in the United States. At its heart, Send Flowers To Tomorrow is about humanizing our neighbors who are part of the migrant and immigrant diaspora, and creating space for collective reflection, celebration, and advocacy.
Send Flowers To Tomorrow asks us to imagine what justice and belonging look like when we get it right. Not as performance—but as altar, as promise.
What is #SendFlowersTo?
Born from the stillness of lockdown in 2020, #SendFlowersTo began as a digital movement—an offering of beauty as protest, of art as a vehicle of public grief. Since then, The Wild Mother has led a series of installations honoring the Tulsa Race Massacre centennial, the MMIW crisis, and criminalized survivors of domestic violence.
Each iteration calls artists and community members into sacred collaboration. This work says what words cannot. It offers something whole where systems have failed.

The Wild Mother: Our Origin Story
The Wild Mother Creative Studio is an acclaimed floral design house rooted in storytelling, ceremony, and culture. Founded and helmed by Afro-Indigenous and Afro-Latina sisters Lauren Palmer and Callie Palmer—with foundational contributions from their sister Leah Palmer during the studio’s first decade—The Wild Mother is a testament to the power of kinship and ancestral creativity.
Based in the Southern Plains, The Wild Mother draws from the sisters’ Gullah, Malagasy, Choctaw, and Mexican lineages to shape work that honors both land and lineage. Their designs express the emotional and spiritual language of flowers through careful attention to color, form, and the organic rhythm of nature.
Recent work includes large-scale installations for cultural institutions, site-specific florals for landmark events, and floral direction & design for film and television. Across mediums and landscapes, The Wild Mother crafts immersive floral experiences that are at once rooted and visionary. Their offerings also include brand collaborations, seasonal collections, and education grounded in equity and collective care.
Through their Send Flowers To initiative, the sisters bring community members into deep, artful engagement with grief, advocacy, and hope.
