Giving Back
Sowing it Forward
We believe that flowers are inherently healing. Studies have proven the health benefits that flowers can bring, so we’ve taken a fresh approach to paying it forward - "Sowing it Forward." Our mission is to bring more flowers to more people in need through random acts of kindness. We do this via repurposing wedding and event florals, creating and donating flower arrangements to families that are inpatient at UVA Children's Hospital, and by giving you, our community, a way to donate a bouquet. We'd love for you to join us in these efforts! Find out more below!
Our volunteers repurpose flowers from wedding and events and gift them to UVA Children's Hospital or Elder Care facilities. If you'd like to give your event flowers a second life, please fill out our form below.
We are always looking for more volunteers to join ours! We have lots of volunteer opportunities from collecting vases to harvesting and arranging flowers. If you'd like to find out more, please click below!
Want to spread the flower joy? Purchase one of our bouquets, write a note of kindness, and we'll deliver it to a family at UVA Children's Hospital for you. Together, we can help support families in crisis.
