We had the honor to chat with Jennifer Grove of Repeat Roses this week on the Rose Chat Podcast. In 2014 Jennifer launched a company in New York City that takes wedding flowers and flowers from corporate events and turns them into small bouquets that are in turn delivered to hospices, nursing homes and other non-profits. It’s a mission to improve corporate sustainability, deliver joy and enhance the emotional health of those in need.
I don’t think I’ve ever attended a wedding that there wasn’t an abundance of flowers. To think that these can now being re-purposed for the social good is something I can get behind. Can’t you?
Hope you’ll give a listen to our latest episode of the Rose Chat Podcast
