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

FLORISTS BURLINGTON VERMONT delivering flowers to make people happy

Today I would like to thank our local participants in our Vermont Recycles Flowers project because without them this wonderful program would not be possible. Paw Prints in Williston has very generously donated the inserts describing our program. Several local Hotels have added us their call list - before they discard flowers from parties and events, they call Chappells and we rush over to pick up bouquets to recycle back into the community. I also want to thank the volunteers who arrive at Chappells once a week to wash donated vases and design the prettiest little bouquets for all to enjoy.

FLOWERS BURLINGTON VT DELIVERY-JOY of FLOWERS shared in the local community

In the continued effort to share our recycled flowers with non-profits in the local area, we delivered flowers to Ronald McDonald house, The Respite House, The Humane Society, Hope Lodge, American Cancer Society, The VET center, The Red Cross, and Hunger free Vermont.  We know they enjoy the gift as the delivery drivers came back to Chappells and tell us how much everyone appreciates the flowers, so surprised at the free gift.

This week our recylce flower program has been very busy delivering joy throughout the local area. We have focused on local churches in Burlington , Essex Junction, S. Burlington , and Williston. Our volunteer designers are creating larger bouquets so the church and fellowship can enjoy a flower design at the altar during services. I have received several notes of thanks and I love reading them . It's a joy to send out these flowers that would have been discarded.

WAY BETTER chappell's florist MOTHERS DAY FLOWERS arranged than box shipped

I have been asked the difference between flowers shipped in a box from a flower production warehouse and our custom designs.
