When you send a bouquet, you truely are sending happiness. Numerous scientific studies have proven that flowers have positive effects on the brain; they elevate mood, reduce stress, and help people heal faster through colour, scent and symbolism.
We propose to create a social good service whose goal is to repurpose flowers which cannot otherwise be sold (or left over from events) and gift then to people who may be prone to depression and loneliness- such as widow/widowers (elderly), new mothers, and ill (or terminally ill) people suffering at home.
The aim; to not only spread joy, happiness and smiles through "secondhand" flowers, but to also be able to check up on these prone people, and make sure they aren't lonely, getting the support they need and are happy.
We would organise the flowers to be picked up, we would then rebunch them and wrap them in our homemade paper (made from stems etc and these would be branded with out homemade ink from petals) and then adding a little homemade card (also from stems and homemade ink) which could say a little poem, saying or whatever, something to brighten the end persons day etc.
Possible partners; Red Cross, Nurse Maude, City Mission, Cancer Society, Government and City Councils.
