Spotlight on Giving Back in 2020

We're celebrating Mother's May (because it's more than a day!) in our own way this year by delivering florals to each of the residents of The Redwood Women's Shelter, a local shelter that offers a safe haven to women and children fleeing abuse as well as a 24-hr crisis line. The Redwood provides programs and services to support women and children to live and thrive without abuse, homelessness and poverty. They work for social change through learning, collaboration and advocacy. Due to COVID-19, calls have increased and programming and services are sadly limited. If you'd like to support The Redwood, please visit their website. Contributions go directly towards improving the lives of women and children.

Daily Bread Food Bank

At the beginning of March, we didn’t know what the future would hold for us - events, weddings and workshops were sadly but necessarily cancelled, and we didn't know if we would even be able to send out daily orders.

Thankfully, as a private studio that operates online, we were able to continue, under stricter sanitization policies and with a very reduced staff. We were relieved, but still didn't know what would happen. Would there be orders!? Thankfully, you happened - staying connected to each other through the act of sending flowers happened!

We are so humbled by your support - it means the world to us that we're still able to create beautiful arrangements every day, and we felt we should pay that support forward.

We wanted to give back to the city that's shown us so much love. So in lieu of donating event flowers for the month of April, we've donated $500 to Daily Bread Food Bank. Food banks need our support now more than ever as the impact of the pandemic has only amplified the stress of food access and poverty.

It is your continued support of our small but mighty business that made this donation a possibility, so thank you!! Please visit the Daily Bread Food Bank's website if you'd like to contribute to their COVID-19 relief efforts.

But much remains to be done to help Grassy Narrows rebuild their health, culture and livelihood. On April 19 the David Suzuki Foundation is hosting a panel discussion moderated by Hayden King and featuring scientist and broadcaster David Suzuki, Grassy Narrows elder and mercury justice advocate Judy Da Silva, and author/academic Leanne Betasamosake Simpson.
