National Flower Arranging Day and Lonely Bouquet Day
\nFriday 1st May<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no better way to say it than with flowers. <\/strong>Which is exactly why NAFAS (The National Association of Flower Arrangement Societies) is using beautiful little bunches to spread some love around the UK on National Flower Arranging Day (Friday 1<\/strong>st<\/sup><\/strong> May 2015<\/strong>). The charity plans to distribute over 60,000 bouquets across the UK embracing the \u2018Lonely Bouquet\u2019 <\/strong>concept for the second year in a row.<\/p>\n The \u2018Lonely Bouquet\u2019 is a kind of goodwill gesture that involves leaving a bouquet in a public place to be picked up by an unsuspecting passerby. The motivation behind this anonymous act of kindness is simply to bring a smile to someone\u2019s face. Last year, NAFAS embraced the \u2018Lonely Bouquet\u2019 concept for the very first time and distributed thousands of bouquets across the UK. The feedback was outstanding.<\/p>\n NAFAS hopes that by promoting the \u2018Lonely Bouquet\u2019 concept it can, in turn, promote the flower industry itself and attract new members to join their local NAFAS flower club. NAFAS members will again distribute mystery bunches of blooms across the UK. Flowers will be placed every-where,<\/strong> from park benches and shop doorsteps,<\/strong> to well-known landmarks and surprise locations. NAFAS hope that these small posies will find a home and brighten somebody\u2019s day.<\/p>\n The random act of kindness initiative dubbed the \u2018Lonely Bouquet\u2019 was the brainchild of a young florist in Belgium named Emily Avenso, who blogged about the idea after leaving flowers for strangers over two years ago. The idea went viral and \u2018Lonely Bouquets\u2019 have been distributed across the globe ever since.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" National Flower Arranging Day and Lonely Bouquet Day Friday 1st May There\u2019s no better way to say it than with flowers.
