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

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!
