Thank you Erin Seering and Ambient Consulting for holding a women's networking event at Bluebirds & Blooms. This group created 180 bouquets for Bluebirds & Blooms communities.

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to Northerly Flora for their generous weekly donations of stunning flowers throughout the summer and early fall! Your support is invaluable to our nonprofit, helping us bring joy to those we serve. We are truly grateful for your partnership and commitment to making a difference. Northerly Flora hosts unique flower workshops, sells beautiful dahlia and tulip bulbs at select times of the year, and offers lovely bouquet subscriptions.

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT - Jean Lieser It is with great appreciation and a small twinge of sadness that we feature volunteer Jean Lieser this month. Jean has been diligently dedicating her time and energy to Bluebirds since the organization’s early days. The consummate utility player since 2019, Jean is quick to jump in to do whatever is needed; from last minute flower donation pick ups, to arranging bouquets when she sees volunteer volumes are low, she is a cherished member of the team. Her favorite Bluebirds roll however, is spending time doing in-person deliveries and seeing the smiles that often follow. She enjoys spending time chatting with the bouquet recipients, creating the connectivity and joy at the very heart of our mission. As Jean prepares to relocate to Arizona, we know that her new community will benefit from her kindness and desire to help others. Thank you Jean for your years of dedicated service to Bluebirds and the communities we serve, you will be greatly missed!

Thank you to St Stephen's Episcopal Church women's ministry for creating these beautiful bouquets delivered to Flagstone - Eden Prairie, a Presbyterian Homes & Services community.

We had a wonderful time crafting teacup flower arrangements with the residents at The Lodges in Eden Prairie. This engaging activity provided a wonderful opportunity for residents to showcase their creativity using a mix of colors, textures, and flowers in a vibrant, communal atmosphere. A grant from the Eden Prairie Community Foundation supports this meaningful project.

Thank you HandsOn Twin Cities and H.B. Fuller who joined us as part of their day of service. This team made 200 bouquets for Bluebirds & Blooms communities!
