It was a banner volunteer day for Second Bloom.  We had five, yes five! volunteers.  More than ever before. Unheard of.  Amazing and miraculous.  Fabuloso.  So many volunteers that we had to spread out to two facilities.  Pat, Peggy and Melinda were at Courtyard.  Pat’s in the upper left photo, Melinda on the right and Peggy below. It was Peggy and Pat’s first time with us but they seemed to fit right in and have a good time.

Over at Highland Farms, Emily and Judy were putting out beautiful arrangements like the one that Judy’s giving to Michelle, one of the staff.  Judy has her own business, Your Vase or Mine, during the growing season.  Beautiful gardens at her East Asheville home.  In fact, she’s generously offered to host a fundraiser for Second Bloom on Tuesday, June 30 -details will be following as it gets closer.

I know I say this a lot….but do you notice the smiles on our volunteers?  This happiness is contagious - the effect to all those we give flowers to is real and noticeable!  Hats off, once again, to our volunteers!
