As far as flower arranging in a small cup is concerned, I was under the illusion that I could ‘cut and stuff’ with the best of them.  But that was before I sat at a table with Marjorie.  She was quicker with a pair of shears than anyone who’s ever helped us at Second Bloom, and that’s saying something. She created beautiful bouquets of roses for the residents at The Laurels of Green Tree Ridge!  Marjorie is a resident at the Laurels and always there with a ready smile and a desire to help.  They put her to work whenever they can - she was making the rounds, delivering mail to the other residents as we were leaving.

Today we were again fortunate to receive flowers from Fresh Market.  This time we collected three large buckets full of roses. Those roses provided immense joy and beauty to the residents of the Laurels.  As someone said to us when we were handing out the flowers:  ‘They are so beautiful.  Flowers just make me smile.’  Kudos to Fresh Market for donating to us on such a regular basis!
