Project shows power of the flower to heal
Sep 28, 2018Charity League assignment. Since she works during the day she nudged Berkman to start a Saturday session.
“I pick up the flowers from Trader Joe’s in Lake Oswego Saturday morning,” she says. “Saturday is kind of a sleeper day. But you make connections and learn the stories (of those you volunteer with). It gets all your senses involved. It feels good, and it smells good.”
There are plenty of jobs for everyone to do — some volunteers pick up flowers, others prep the flowers and still others arrange the bouquets. There always are floors to sweep and buckets to wash. Still others deliver flowers to the hospice and palliative-care partners.
“We don’t deliver right to the patients,” Berkman says. “We deliver to the facility, and they take them to the patients. Our hospice workers love what we bring, and our floral partners are so happy to be helping.”
From delivery to Teufel Farm through the bouquet-building process to delivery you can feel and see the powerful effect the flowers have on all who touch or view them.
“Having flowers brings life into the room,” Berkman says. “This gift opens doors, literally and figuratively.”
