Flowers can boost your mood, reduce stress and improve wellbeing
Helping people to feel loved with Fenton Yard Flowers
Flowers can boost your mood, reduce stress and improve wellbeing, and cut flowers enable us to bring these benefits into our home and into the lives of loved ones.
My aim with Fenton Yard Flowers is to spread joy to our community, using this wonderful power of nature with my flowers, so I was delighted to be asked to work with Hampton and Hampton Hill Voluntary Care, who are based at the Greenwood Community Centre, in their Kindness Campaign. They are a charity that supports people in TW12, running projects and activities designed to promote the health and wellbeing of their members. The charity delivers a Fenton Yard Flowers bouquet to a randomly chosen household every month across their membership, simply to be kind. This 5 month old initiative came about after looking at their values and thinking of new ways to reach the community through kindness, while hoping to boost the mood and wellbeing of their members. Rob McRae-Adams, the CEO, told me: ‘the flowers are a representation of how we deliver everything we do with kindness’.
With Valentine’s Day coming up, it’s nice that this Kindness Campaign is helping people feel loved.
A trend for 2023 is to be more bold with colour, rather than pastel shades and I have seen a move towards rustic and wild bouquets, with people wanting eye-catching natural texture in their arrangements. My signature Valentine’s Day bouquets this year, will include deep red ranunculus and double petal tulips rather than the classic red rose arrangement. Flowers are a great way to add life and beauty to your home, making it feel calm and cosy.
