The classes continue at the Oakridge Senior Centre with brilliant flowers and smiles for everyone.
In a joint venture with CFFFS, floral classes at the Living Room Shelter on Powell Street started on August 9th. These classes bring individuals from marginalized groups in our community together to create arrangements which will then be displayed in businesses all across Vancouver. In return those businesses make donations back to the participating members of the classes. Know any businesses that want flowers to brighten their space? Then let us know!
As you can see from these pictures, the classes are already a blooming success!
Floral classes continue in its third year at the Haro Park Centre with fantastic arrangements being created for local Vancouver businesses. These arrangements will be distributed around the city and in return businesses donate back to the ladies at the Haro and CFFFS so we can keep running these programs!
The Canadian Flowers For Food Society would like to thank all of those who participated in what was undoubtedly the best Bouquet of Hope Art Exhibit and Gala fundraiser to date. A lot of hard work went into this years event and it would not have been possible without the diverse talents of our dedicated contributors. We would like to thank all of the Artists, Performers, Sponsors, Volunteers, Buyers and Attendees that helped make this event possible.

Lisa O’Neill is returning for her second Bouquet of Hope performance and this year, she’s bringing a friend along. Amongst the Embers formed in late 2010 after Lisa O’Neill and Sean McGrath began playing music together while working in the same Vancouver bar. The two found common musical ground in the likes of Sigor Ross, The Fleet Foxes and Feist and were interested in incorporating elements of harmony and ambience with traditional pop song-writing. The two have since played a number of shows in Vancouver and have recently completed the recording of a concept E.P
