Flowers for hospice

My garden club met last weekend to put together flower arrangements for a local hospice, for a memorial dedication the next day.

Everyone gathers up flowers from their gardens (or a local market), and we mix and match.  One of our members solicited vases from a neighborhood list-serve, so we had plenty of lovely vases.

A simple hour of time was rewarding.

The note we received back from a hospice staff member was snuffle-producing.  Simple for us, lovely for the families and patients.
