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

THANKSGIVING FLOWERS Burlington Vt Chappells florist delivering to local Community

At Thanksgiving, all of us @ chappells wish to celebrate by dressing the holiday table with joyful artistic flowers. Our recycle flowers program, with gracious assistance from our "flower fairies" will design and deliver tablescapes to local Nursing homes and assisted living residences. With generous flower donations we hope to extend the program to deliver to Fletcher Allen ICU waiting rooms, Ronald Mcdonald house, Vermont respite house, Lund family center, and Hope Lodge. We are always accepting clean vases for the project, brought to our Chappells location on Williston rd. S. Burlington. Thank you very much!   Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
