Our Why ...
Our Vision
​Building a future where communities flourish through connection and sustainable practices — with every bouquet sparking the cycle of kindness.

Our Mission
At reBloom, our mission is to reconnect people through the simple act of giving and receiving flowers . A bouquet can be more than an object of beauty; it’s a conversation starter, a smile, and a moment of comfort. We reclaim flowers from celebrations and transform them into new arrangements that brighten elder communities, classrooms, and care spaces. Through creative collaboration among students, volunteers, and caregivers, we reduce waste, build bridges across generations, and offer moments of renewal to those who give so much of themselves every day.​


Our Inspiration
Chain Reaction of Giving
It starts with a single act of kindness: the donation of flowers. Volunteers who repurpose them feel inspired and purposeful, passing that energy to social workers and community members. Our hope is that everyone touched by the reBloom process carries that positivity back into the community, sparking further inspiration.
A Symbol of Love
Flowers are not only beautiful—they are a universal symbol of love, especially meaningful for those living with Dementia or Alzheimer’s, who rely on visual and sensory cues. Their presence serves as a gentle reminder that they are seen, valued, and cared for.
The Perfect Place to reBloom
Naples is a destination for weddings, vacations, and corporate events—yet also home to a growing retirement community. As families face the challenges of long-term and palliative care, reBloom connects the joy of event flowers with the needs of the aging population and their caregivers. By reusing and recycling what can’t be reduced, we extend beauty and compassion to where it’s needed most.
The Science
While it's enough to see the smile on our recipients faces, research backs up our mission. Studies show that patients with flowers in their rooms have
-
shorter hospital stays
-
lower ratings of pain, anxiety and fatigue
-
lower blood pressure
-
more positive feelings
A Rutgers University study showed that flowers are an "emotion inducer" and improve mood and long term episodic memory in elderly patients.
