We had a great variety of flowers to work with today.  Two weddings from The Bloom Room, flowers from Your Vase or Mine and from The Fresh Market provided us with color, beauty and interest.  We couldn’t name all the flowers but it didn’t slow any of us down.  I mostly took photos while the other five volunteers set about making over 60 arrangements for the patients and staff at Care Partners Rehab Hospital.  Photo on the left shows everyone who helped, Sharon and her mother Jo, Cindy, Larissa and Elizabeth.  The photo on the left shows them wheeling their cart down the hall, having already handed out many arrangements.

Hands On Asheville provided all the organization of volunteers for our Second Bloom project today.  It’s great to see who shows up to help out, what drew them to volunteer and how they like the experience.  I always consider it a good indication when volunteers want to return!  Check out some more photos.
