I volunteer for a wonderful organization, The Bloom Project, (thebloomproject.org) which repurposes flowers into bouquets for patients in hospice with the mission of demonstrating beauty, giving and joy during end of life care. The organization was founded in Bend, Oregon and has been operating in Portland for at least three years. Heidi Berkman, the organization’s visionary, has found wonderful floral partners including Teufel’s Nursery which donates space in Portland to the Bloom Project.
From raw material to bouquet
