FloweRescue

Rescue some flowers to send to people who might not otherwise get to enjoy flowers, and take home some cute little flower treasures for yourself ❤️

Sign up to volunteer with us in April - our calendar is now open!

(there is also a click-able link in our bio)

We meet most Mondays and every Thursday near Teurastamo to sort the hävikki flowers we’ve collected, composting those which are moldy or too damaged to save and rescuing the rest.

Sometimes we make bouquets to donate; otherwise we just prepare the flowers to be sent out loose for workshops. But as a volunteer you’ll almost always get to make a little bouquet for yourself, or to share with a friend 💐

No flower experience is necessary, and this volunteer activity is kid-friendly! We generally stand while we clean and sort the flowers, but our space can accommodate a variety of access/mobility scenarios, let us know how we can best welcome you.

And we usually host these evenings in English, conversation among the volunteers is a mix of Finnish and English. If English is uncomfortable for you, let us know and we’ll tell you the next day that our Finnish-speaking host will be there 🇬🇧 🇫🇮

☀️Who knew how dazzling an amaryllis would be in the March sunlight??!☀️

Our team member Chris rescued some potted amaryllis after Christmas and has been holding onto them for a few months - now we see why 🤩
