Flower Stories from The Little Garden That Could

As the growing season comes to an end my flower subscription service also is coming to an end for the 2017 season. 
My summer of doing flower subscriptions added more inspiration to continue next year. 
If you have not peeked at my website click The Little Garden That Could

With the flower subscription service I was able to deliver to a lovely lady who was very sick. Her daughter gifted her a weekly flower subscription. 

  
Each time I delivered we would talk about the flowers that I used to create the bouquet. We talked about the bold colors, the petals and the amazing creation of each flower.

A few weeks ago I received a Thank You note from her. She was thanking me for providing such a service. What a joy it was to her to receive flowers from the garden each week.

Her daughter contacted me last week to share that she passed away.

I shared with her about the Thank You note I received from her mom. Her mom, who was sick, very sick and in pain. How she took time to write me a Thank You.
 How the bouquets I created were to bless her. 
How she in turn blessed me.
