📣 Our October volunteer calendar is now up, you can find it through the link in our bio.

At FloweRescue we collect hävikki and surplus flowers from flower logistics centers, wholesalers, florists, designers and events; sort through to separate and compost the really old, broken and moldy bits; then clean and refresh the rest of the flowers so we can donate them to bring joy in the community.

We meet Thursdays and most Mondays to rescue the flowers. And, welcome newcomers, we will teach you what you need to know!

And, if you don’t see this until the sessions are full, don’t fret! Add yourself to the waitlist, as spaces often become available in the days before each event

The cafe, of course, will serve up hot and cold espresso drinks and teas, as well as tasty sweet and savory treats. And your purchases support FloweRescue’s charitable work ✨

Join us to rescue flowers in September … and maybe you’ll spot a few luscious dahlias and other seasonal summer beauties.

We collect waste/surplus flowers from flower logistics centers, wholesalers, florists, designers and events; sort through to separate and compost the really old, broken and moldy bits; then clean and refresh the rest of the flowers so we can donate them to bring joy in the community.

Our September volunteer calendar is now up, you can find it through the link in our bio.

We meet Thursdays and most Mondays to clean and sort the hävikki flowers, and sometimes to make bouquets.

Welcome newcomers, we will teach you what you need to know!

📣 And, if you don’t see this until the sessions are full, don’t fret! Add yourself to the waitlist, as spaces often become available in the days before each event
