More recycled flowers into the community

This week we designed many little arrangements and delivered them to local schools for the beginning of the school year. I also made contact with several of the activities directors at local nursing homes to see if they would like to plan a flower arranging class. At the VNA I have promised to share flowers for the enjoyment of patients with dementia. There has been research suggesting patients do better with flowers in their environment.

next week's flower project

When Tuesday arrives, I will have more flowers to design. Friends of Vermont recycles flowers are cleaning their cupboards and bring in recycled vases. 

This week we delivered pretty little arrangements to many of the schools opening in the area. We also delivered to Wake Robin retirement community, Hinesburg Food shelf where each patron was given a bouquet when picking up, & Pillsbury Manor North and South locations. At Pillsbury Manor South a resident was thrilled to design the bouquets herself so we sent loose flowers. 
We are requesting donations of clean recycled vases if you have some to donate.
