Ellen Shaw and Lucy Beard of Second Bloom will set up at the Downtown Market receiving donations of all types of flowers to make and then deliver bouquets to Mothers in area nursing homes on Sunday, Mother’s Day, May 9th. Simply bring by as many flowers as you can or collect. Get them from your yard, your neighbors, your church, your local grocery store, left-over from events you attend.

PROJECT NUMBER 2: A CARGO VAN FOR SECOND BLOOM
Second Bloom began long after we’d bought our cars. The joke was: ‘How many flowers can you get in a Prius?’ As it turned out, not all that many. So we moved to my truck, which was great. Especially since it hadn’t rained or been very hot on the days we’d been hauling flowers. We count ourselves meterologically blessed.
But now, after three months in business it’s become quite apparent that we are in need of a couple of vans. Especially by the time wedding season rolls around this spring. We could get rain, most likely will find warmer weather and definitely, without a doubt will be getting a LOTTA FLOWERS! Blooms galore, buckets unending, blossoms flying everywhere - you get the idea. Being a small, non-profit business in start up phase, buying one outright is not what we’re looking for. So we are seeing this Chevy Express, Ford Cargo Van or some other just like it in our future. Hope you see the same thing for us. And if you can help us acquire one, please don’t keep it to yourself - send word via phone, email, snail mail, telepathy or carrier pigeon!
