Vase Recycling

Here at The Treehouse Florist, we're going green, and we're asking for your help in saving the environment by recycling glass vases.
If you've accumulated a lot of vases, good for you! You have family and friends who send you flowers. Sometimes these extra vases are taking up valuable storage space or are left on a dusty shelf, unused. If this is the case, you can bring your clean, used vases to our shop and we'll put them to use again. Or, if they really don't meet our quality standards, we will take them to the recycling center.
Here's How It Works
Bring your vases to our shop when you're in the neighborhood. Our shop is located at 22 West Main Street in New Freedom, PA and is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM and on Saturdays from 9:00 until 2:00 PM. If you come by when we're closed, simply place your vases (or box of vases) on our porch and we'll get them in the morning. We offer a FREE rose for every pair of usable vases we receive. If you plan to be a frequent recycler, you can "bank" your free flowers toward an arrangement in the future. Anyway, you look at it, those unused vases add up to value for you and us.
Why We Are Recycling Vases
No, there isn't a sudden vase shortage. And no, it won't really save us any money on vases. We just want to do our tiny part in helping the planet. And reusing and recycling is a great start!

Hello? - Your Local Florist

I will never understand why people think that calling or using a third party, like 1800Flowers, for ordering a flower arrangement will get it there any faster or cheaper than just calling their local florist direct.
I had a customer call me just yesterday for a funeral arrangement one hour before the family was arriving for the visitation, because 1800Flowers couldn't get it filled for her. She probably saved a lot of money by doing that. For one, she didn't have to pay a service charge by calling us direct, or a delivery fee because we deliver to the funeral home for free. And finally, the money is staying in the local economy which is always a good thing.

Our first blog post

It's Saturday afternoon and I finally have some quiet time to sit down and try and understand this animal called Social Media, and set up a blog for my business. But...I just realized that Game 4 of the Stanley Cup playoffs is on, and I may have to delay this for yet another day. But I got this far.
