How It All Works

The wheels on the Flower Exchange Train are well greased and ready for action! We are recycling flowers, diverting them from landfills and bringing them to hundreds of people in nursing homes, rehab centers and Hospice. Your gift of flowers can be seen in the delighted, grateful faces of those who receive them.

Pick Up

You call us to donate flowers and we put your event on our schedule for pick up. Click here to donate flowers.  As your event winds down The Flower Exchange Train gets ready to leave the station. At the event center we sort through the flowers and put them in buckets with water. The train gets loaded up and we sallie forth. Click here for photos from our Donor Car.

Refuel

Stop number two is the refueling station – coffee and baked goods for the conductor and crew!

Delivery
