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

Spreading the Joy.......

I receive "thank you " notes every day from Groups receiving these pretty flower bouquets. I so enjoy reading the nice comments! This month we will send out more flowers to elderly housing for Mother's Day. The Cathedral Square group has been very appreciative as we deliver multiple bouquets for their enjoyment. Out goal this week is to deliver fresh flowers to the Fletcher Allen ICU waiting rooms, Fanny Allen Rehab facility,  Ronald McDonald house and The Respite House.
