Publisher's Synopsis
How to collect hundreds/thousands of day-old beautiful bouquets from grocery stores, florists, specialty markets, floral distributors, and pass them out to people in hospitals, nursing homes, shelters, recovery houses, and hospices. You can be the bearer of the gift of free flowers. Patricia Gallagher spreads joy to people who need it most. And you can sprout joy in your own community, alone or with the help of volunteers. Using lively stories from her own experiences as "The Flower Lady" - she tells you how to make arrangements to pick up free donations of day-old bouquets that Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, COSTCO, other big box stores, florists, and grocery stores would normally discard, obtain flower arrangements that would normally go to waste after weddings, corporate events, and parties, deliver "scent-sational" floral bouquets to residents, staff and patients at nursing homes, hospices and hospitals, and how to have fun, find your purpose, feel good, and "Flower Smiles Forward" with re-purposed petals and blooms. Patricia C. Gallagher welcomes interviews, speaking engagements and consultations. The Happy Flower Day Project site: www.happyflowerday.org
