Vermont florist loves to recycle flowers

We love to recycle flowers, and we know Vermonters love to recycle! Our program works so well because two local grocery stores also contribute to our recycle program. We pick up event flowers and wedding flowers regularly too. We have 10 volunteers who redesign and help deliver the flowers. I have a huge stack of "thank you" notes. We all love to spread the happiness of flowers!
