How We Transform Petals Into Purpose
Some of the ways reBLOOM delivers joy include:
reCOVER & reDESIGN
After each event, our team carefully collects and sorts donated flowers — selecting only the freshest blooms. Because most arrangements have been displayed for only a few hours, we’re able to recapture up to a week of life and beauty. Once gently cleaned, rehydrated, and trimmed, these flowers are ready to be arranged into new bouquets. Each new arrangement is designed with care, blending artistry and sustainability. Volunteers and students often join in the process, transforming what was once fleeting décor into meaningful gifts.
reBLOOM DELIVERIES
After recovering and redesigning, reBloom deliveries serve the same mission but deliver joy in different ways-
reBloom Drop-Offs
Through reBLOOM drop offs, quiet acts of kindness create meaningful moments. Adult volunteers deliver rearranged event flowers for staff to distribute to residents. These thoughtful gestures bring beauty, gratitude, and a gentle reminder that the community cares.
reBloom Student Visits
Our reBloom Visits teach kindness and creativity to students and youth volunteers who hand-deliver small floral arrangements they have made in a structured setting to residents in nursing homes and assisted living communities. These visits spark conversation and connection.
reBloom With Grace Deliveries
Through reBloom With Grace, volunteers deliver repurposed bouquets to clergy and chaplains visiting hospice patients. These blooms accompany tender conversations at the end of life, helping clergy enter with warmth, softness, and compassion. Each flower becomes a way to bring light, comfort, and grace when words may be hard to find.
reCONNECTION CLASSES
Shared Stems and Stories
A hands-on cross-generational flower experience that brings students and seniors together to share creativity, conversation, and connection. In these free, volunteer-led sessions, students and senior residents work side-by-side to arrange bouquets. Each session encourages meaningful interaction, shared storytelling, and the joy of creating something beautiful together.At the end of the sessions the seniors go home with their creation or may gift it to someone in their community.
reUSE
INITIATIVES
We don't just believe in taking care of our community, we believe in taking care of our planet too. reBloom composts any flowers that don't make it into our repurposed bouquets. The compost feeds the garden that supplies a lot of our fillers greens for bouquets. We also make our best efforts to collect and repurpose all vases when logistically possible. Have clean label free 14-16 ounce jars? We collect them in groupings of 10 or more. Contact us for details.

Who We Serve
We serve those who have spent a lifetime taking care of us — and those who continue that care in quiet, extraordinary ways.
Our repurposed arrangements brighten the days of seniors in long-term care, individuals in hospice, and community members facing loneliness, transition, or hardship.
We also share flowers with the teachers, nurses, caregivers, and social workers whose light shapes our communities.
We strive to give back to the communities fighting for their lives — and the ones fighting for our future.
