As your bouquet starts to lose its bloom, it seems like a good time to ask this question: What do you do with the vase? Many of our customers own five or six vases of different shapes and sizes from bouquets delivered over the years. All of them are pretty, but many may be considered clutter. At Vermont Recycles Flowers, they are will be filled with blooms again.
Other suggestions:
- I bought a friend a bouquet of tulips for her birthday and arranged it in one of my vases.
- My mother likes to save hers until summer, then fill them with flowers from her garden and give them to friends.
- If the glass can be recycled, recycle it to Vermont Recycles Flowers.
- Donate them to a nursing home, a church or a hospital if wanted; if not, Vermont Recycles Flowers will fill them with recycled flowers and deliver to these locations.
- Use a bud vase as a chopstick or paintbrush holder.
- Make one into a “mad money” or marble jar.
- A coworker used short, square ones to serve cut-up vegetables at a party.
- Offer them to a friend who’s engaged and wants to save money by making DIY bouquets.
