We are a group of floral designers @ Chappell's florist who create new floral bouquets with recycled "Event" flowers. Event flowers are fresh flowers that are enjoyed for a short time at weddings, Hotel Conventions, business or party function and then normally discarded. We deliver these new arrangements to Nursing homes and Assisted Living Facilities, Vermont Respite House weekly, Ronald McDonald House, Hope Lodge, Schools, Churches, libraries and Nonprofit organizations.

Shelburne Farms wedding flowers Chappells florist Vermont recycles in Burlington
I are pleased to share that Erin, event coordinator at Shelburne Farms Shelburne vermont has asked us to recycle wedding flowers after the events. Previously the flowers were composted, but we both felt a much better choice was to redesign and deliver to nursing homes and non profit organizations in the local area. This week fresh and gorgeous creamy white hydrangeas, stock, roses, and other garden favorites are now in homes and businesses for all to enjoy. Thank you to our recycle flower volunteers who redesign and deliver! Thank you also to the local community who generously donate vases to the program.
