Sharing Joy Through Petals
“Medfield woman's non-profit recycles flowers, brings joy to people in memory care”
IN THE NEWS
The Lasell University students who walked through the door at CareOne in Newton, Massachusetts were just miles from campus, but it likely felt a world away. They carried jars of fresh flowers, each tied with a ribbon and a personal, hand-written note. The students made the bouquets with flowers that, days earlier, created the "winter wonderland" atmosphere at a wedding in Boston. Fresh, fragrant, and beautiful the blooms will now be enjoyed by residents in memory care.
Unlike the student volunteers who made the bouquets, the residents are not able to leave their campus and explore. The flowers are a connection to the outside world. "It changes the environment," said CareOne Program Director Rebecca LaFond. "It's so nice to see how the residents-just seeing something like a fresh flower, it really helps to make it feel like home."
