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

Valentines roses & flowers to Shelburne Vt - delivery to Pillsbury Manor, Wake Robin retirement, Shelburne Bay Senior Living.

This week our recycle flower delivery elves shared lovely fresh "recycled" flowers just back from a winter wedding. Flower included, iris, roses, tulips, daisies, lisianthus, ranunculus, & stock. Valentines day is near & we love to share to celebrate, especially with the weather so cold and dim. Local deliveries to the residents of Pillsbury Manor, Shelburne Bay Senior Living and Wake Robin. We were greeted with many smiles and "thank yous", the kind of thing that makes our day!
