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

CHAPPELLS FLOWERS SHOP shares joy of flowers with Hope Lodge 237 east ave. Burlington vermont 05401

One of our favorite places to take our recycled flowers is Hope Lodge. The flowers are shared in the reception area, on the dining room tables, and in the living area of folks staying at the Lodge. Today bouquets were delivered created with purple iris, lavender and purple larkspur, pale pink asters, mauve gladioli, and green lisianthus. We wish everyone there the very best!  Chappell's florist elves.
