The Community Posy Project by Flowers for Jane

The Community Posy Project is a volunteer not-for-profit community activity to help create connection and begin to cure loneliness by bringing people together through the simple, powerful act of creating and sharing flowers. It's a volunteer initiative that gives back in a couple of ways. Firstly by bringing together people to create posies of flowers. We do this once a month at the Flowers for Jane Langwarrin studio and once a month out in the community. Participants make one posy for themselves as a reminder of connecting with other like minded souls. As well, they make one posy for us to give out to the community, creating connection after the activity. Our mission is to combat disconnection and spread joy through the simple act of making and giving fresh flowers. This payment is your contribution to the wholesale expences of the activity. There are no refunds. If you can not make it, the group will use your flowers and we will deliver on your behalf. NOTE: Flowers for Jane is located on a hobby farm, so expect uneaven ground and a few furry friends (including Roxy the Border Collie) to say hello. Photos & Video will be taken at the event so please let Cassy know if you don't want to be in any of them.
