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

SCHOOLS ENJOY FLOWERS-CHAPPELLS FLORIST new "Vermont recycles Flowers" program delivers for opening of school year.

Chappell's florists volunteer their time to create floral beauties this week from flowers recycled from weddings this past weekend. Throughout the week we will be delivering to all the local schools to herald in the new school year. We have lots of gorgeous flowers, and we love redesigning new vases full of flowers for their "second life". Thanks to the brides and their venues for donating! Chappell's flower shop.

    That's so sweet and good idea and great line described by you as flowers are just enjoyed for a short time at a Wedding, Hotel's etc. But delivering them to Nursing homes, ICU at FAHC, Vermont Respite House, Ronald McDonald House, Schools is such a great thought.I found your site best for UK online florist.
