Flowers convey affection, appreciation and caring to those who give and receive them. They can renew spirits and brighten recipients’ day and environment.
Studies have established a strong correlation between fresh flowers, greater emotional well-being and a more positive outlook among seniors.*

We offer two programs and encourage communities to consider both.
Room Amenity
Picture this… the anticipation builds as residents eagerly await delivery of flowers to their rooms. What will arrive today? Perhaps some amazing roses from Ecuador, beautiful gerbera daisies from Canada, or magical peonies from Italy?
Colorful and uplifting, flowers will enhance the lives of your residents and increase the marketability of your communities to prospective families.
Details/What’s Included
- We ship our flowers in bulk (multiple units per box) from our growers directly to your community via
Fedex®. - Prior to the first delivery you’ll receive a complimentary vase for each resident and a pair of clippers.
- No commitment – you can stop the program at any time.

Resident Engagement
Looking for a unique and engaging activity for your residents? Try floral activity kits – colorful boxes of flower bunches (e.g. a vibrant mixture of focals and greens) for residents to design their very own bouquets. In addition to the pride they’ll feel when they create their own masterpieces, this activity will encourage residents to utilize their minds and hands. Their “designer” bouquets will become a spirited topic of conversation for residents and their families.
Details/What’s Included
- Approximately 150 stems per box
- 7-10 varieties of flowers and greens
- Enough for 8-12 residents to create their own bouquets
- Vase for each participant (first delivery)
- 1 stem clipper (first delivery)
