Hello,

Our rose garden has way too many roses. Any ideas on what I can do with them
once I cut them. I was hoping for some project to share/involve the kids.

Thanks
David

I assume that you mean that you have way too many blooms. If that's
the case, then you might invite someone from a local nursing home or
hospital to come and do a supervised cutting. Have the kids help out
and then send them to the facility to help pass them out and/or make
arrangements.

Just one quick idea off the top of my head.

I can only wish for your "problem" chuckle.

Maybe you could coordinate a Mother's Day project with the kids for a local
seniors home or something? Bet they would love to have some 'blooms' for
such an occasion. Or why not have a 'blooms' sale like we did as kids with
Lemonade stands. They could charge $1.00 a bloom or something. At the
least it would keep them busy for an afternoon.

Let us know what you end up doing?

I bring my flowers to our local high school and give them to the offices where
the parents and staff can enjoy them -- such as the main office, the attendance
office, the nurse's office. etc Many have commented to the staff ( not to me
) that they felt welcome to the school because of the flowers.

One person I heard about brings her flowers to the local post office when she
can.

What about seniors? The lobby of the local senior housing
developnment. Your post office, local library, pre-school, bank, just
about everyone would love to have a bouquet. I buy crackleglass vases
at the dollar store for this purpose. What kills me is that they love
them so much they keep them until they are dog ugly. It's touching.

My mother gave me an idea for vases to give away. Use a can, like you get corn
in, and wrap it with wrapping paper. I cut a square of paper and tie it with a
ribbon. If you only have one or two roses tie the paper around the stems and
it will hold them upright. I've used birthday paper for birthdays, comics
pages from the newpaper and tissue paper. It's basically free and fits in the
cupholder in my car so I don't have to worry about spilling water or the
flowers wilting. With a little imagination you can create some very pretty
flower holders.
