‘The beauty of flowers is for all to enjoy, admire and feel. The visual beauty and energy of flowers can heal the mind, body and soul’
With this in mind, Yvette recently visited the volunteers at Anam Cara Geelong to share tips and advice on Flower Arranging.
Anam Cara offers support to people of all ages who are seeking palliative care within the greater Geelong community.
They are a community funded, non denominational organisation made up of compassionate health professionals, volunteers and supporters working together to provide day and overnight respite and end of life care in a “home like” environment.
The hard working volunteers were treated to a lesson on how to best use Spring flowers and herbs to create beautiful floral arrangements. Each person left with the knowledge of how they can use flowers from their own garden to create arrangements that they can enjoy within their homes, give as gifts, or use to bring some healing energy and visual beauty to Anam Cara.
Volunteers have given us great feedback on this event, and Bloom College was so happy to have been able to have been a part of such a positive experience.
Do you know of a local community service that could benefit from a similar event? At Bloom College we have a many causes close to our hearts and we want to contribute to them in as many ways as we can. One way is by sharing our knowledge with people who could benefit from the positive effects that come from learning more about the therapeutic properties of flowers and flower arranging.
If you would like to enquire about the possibility of a similar event, please contact us.
