Budding project at UNC gives repurposed flowers to hospital patients
Posted Aug 29, 2016
Founded by UNC graduate students Katie Stember and Aspen Gutgsell, Heeling Flowers is a blossoming organization that turns unwanted flowers from events into bouquets for patients at UNC Hospitals. “We were inspired to start the project at UNC after reading a story about a woman in Idaho who turned unwanted flowers from weddings into bouquets for hospice care patients,” Stember said.
