🌹MBH was gifted a beautiful cast of flowers from our local Cash Wise Foods, creating the perfect opportunity for a special pop-up flower arranging activity. This generous donation orchestrated by Doreen, Gina and Christina included several boxes of flowers. Upon arrival the stunning roses in shades of red, pink, yellow, orange, white and coral were trimmed and place in pails along with other fill in flowers.
🥀Our residents are no strangers to the art of flower arranging. Many had enjoyed the hobby through their lives, and in visiting with residents about activities they would like...flower arranging was near the top. Over the years we have featured several flower shows. The enthusiasm was evident the moment the first buckets arrived at the activity tables. As the colorful flowers were displayed, residents eagerly gathered around and immediately began creating beautiful arrangements. They instantly thought of of residents who would appreciate an arrangement and went to work.
🌹To accommodate the activity, a collection of 27 vases was brought out of storage. The assortment included clear vases, deep-colored vessels, and welcoming round vases with ample room for floral creations.
🥀The room buzzed with conversation, laughter, and memories as residents shared flower-arranging tips and admired one another's work. The room was alive..such a joy to see.
When all was said and done, the beautiful creation brought joy far beyond the activity room. Many arrangements were given to residents to brighten their rooms, while others were placed throughout the home's public areas, adding warmth, color, and a welcoming touch for everyone to enjoy.
🌹This does not happen without generous hearts and hands. Thank you, Doreen, Gina, and Christina from Cash Wise Foods for thinking of our residents and to Cash Wise Foods for these lovely flowers. Many thanks to Carolyn Feldman, who helped prepare the flowers and assisted residents in arranging. Thank you to my wife, Jan, a forever flower admirer and creative soul for assisting her husband in "petaling" out of this colorful situation.
