Vermont Recycles Flowers: January 2015

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

wedding flowers from Burlington, Shelburne and Charlotte donated

We have several brides who have donated flowers from their weddings recently. This time of year is especially important for flowers as they cheer all when delivered to the nursing homes in the area.We are seeking more vases and baskets donations for the program. Our recycled flowers volunteers design with these donated items every week. We are also looking for a few more "floral artists" to help in the program. If you have an artistic flair and would like to donate your time to a fun and satisfying cause, you can call me at Chappell's.
Thank you!
