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

BIRTHDAY FLOWERS Burlington Vt. CHAPPELLS FLORIST DELIVERS TO 100 years "young" Birthday girl at Shelburne Bay Senior living Shelburne, vt. 05482

Chappells florist delivers pretty Birthday bouquets everyday throughout the Burlington area, and recently we dropped in to Shelburne Bay senior living looking for a "Birthday girl or boy" to  Surprise with flowers from our "Vermont recycles flowers" program. Joan, our flower ambassador, asked at the front desk if anyone in the dining room was having a birthday today, and had not received any flowers to celebrate. "Yes we have a 100 year old Birthday girl today who never gets flowers or any visitors either." So Joan presented her with a pretty bright Birthday bouquet and got a huge smile in return. Joan then asked her secret to living 'til 100 years young, and she said to Joan, "Just be happy". We all loved that!
