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

UVM Parents choose CHAPPELLS FLORIST- a Green Partner

UVM and parents of UVM students choose Chappell's florist because we are Green too! We begin by recycling glass vases from UVM which would have been discarded.  From all the donated vases we receive from UVM & the community, we design flower bouquets and deliver to those who need cheering up in Burlington.  Our popular Vermont Recycles Flowers programs brings flower bouquets to many locations in Burlington including Ronald McDonald House South Winooski ave., Burlington 05401, Vermont Respite House, Williton Vt., FAHC Fletcher Allen Hospital of Vermont ICU waiting rooms, FAH Fanny Allen Rehab Facility Colchester ave Colchester, Vt. and local nursing homes, most popular Cathedral Square Corp Retirement homes.
