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

Shelburne Vermont flowers "what people are saying"

what people are saying

Thank you so much for the very pretty bouquet of flowers that you gave my Mother last week at Wake Robin. She is a little too frail now to go out very much and spends many hours in her room.  

The flowers look beautiful and have added some sunshine to her surroundings.  
   Sincerely, Judith Knight

In 1860, Florence Nightingale wrote,
 

"I shall never forget the rapture of fever patients over a bunch of bright colored flowers. I remember (in my own case) a nosegay of wild flowers being sent to me from that moment recovery becoming more rapid"
