How We Transform Petals Into Purpose
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
Quiet Acts Of Kindness With Lasting Impact (Adult volunteers deliver flowers for staff to distribute) Through reBloom Drop-Offs, volunteers deliver repurposed event flowers to care facilities, where staff distribute them to residents. Even without direct interaction, these thoughtful gestures bring beauty, gratitude, and a gentle reminder that the community cares.
reBloom Student Visits
Where Kindness Blossoms In Person ​(Students make and deliver the arrangements themselves) reBloom Visits invite students and youth volunteers to create small floral arrangements and hand-deliver them to residents in nursing homes and assisted living communities. These visits spark conversation and connection.
reBloom Grace Deliveries
Where Beauty Brings Comfort ​(volunteers and faith partners sharing beauty and comfort during life’s most tender moments) Through reBloom Grace Deliveries, 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.
CONNECTION 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.
SUSTAINABILITY 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.
