How I got started.......


HOW I GOT STARTED.........

I was admiring arrangements at a reception party for a friend. 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." So an idea was born; why not ask to take the flowers back to my shop, redesign them & give them back to the community. Why not? Who wouldn't like fresh flowers especially in a nursing home dining room or a local school lobby. That's how "Vermont recycles Flowers "got started. With the generosity of flower donations and a little talent from Chappell's Florist designers and local volunteers, we are sharing flowers, still full of life, with members of our community who will really enjoy them. recycleflowers@yahoo.com

For the love of Spring Flowers.....

Our recycled flower bouquets today go to our neighbors in Shelburne. I love receiving email photos of happy folks enjoying a meal with flower bouquets on the table. We love to send bouquets into The Arbors Memory Care and Senior Living 687 Harbor rd, Shelburne, The Lake Champlain Waldorf School 359 Turtle land, Shelburne, Shelburne Community School SCS 345 Harbor rd Shelburne, Wake Robin Senior Community Living and Life Care 200 Wake Robin drive, Shelburne vt., Shelburne Bay Senior Living 185 Pine Haven Shore Dr. Shelburne, vt. We also shared our recycled flowers with our friends at Corbin and Palmer 209 Falls Rd Shelburne vt. They are so generous in artfully displaying our flowers for the loved ones in celebration of life ceremonies. We think they should enjoy a bouquet on their desk or community room too!
