How I got started.......

I was enjoying these really beautiful arrngements at a reception for a friend. I design flowers, and I really appreciate talented floral artists. At this event, I decided to ask the hotel staff what actually happens to the flowers. Do they move them to the lobby for the enjoyment of the guests?  I was told "oh no, we don't keep them. No one here knows what to do with them, they are so big."  So an idea was born; why not ask to take the flowers back to my shop, redesign them & give them away, why not? Who wouldn't like fresh flowers especially in a nursing home dining room or a local school lobby. That's how "Burlington recycles Flowers "got started. I'm just beginning. The fun part is calling folks and telling them my story, and asking them if they would like some flowers. Everyone thinks it's a great idea and says "yes", of course. I'll tell you my stories as this evolves.......diane
