Carson City’s Angels with Flowers delivers, makes 100th floral arrangement donation this year
For the past four years, Angels With Flowers has donated floral arrangements to hospitals and senior care centers throughout the Carson City area. On Monday, the program, established by local florist Lori Morris, donated its 99th and 100th arrangement of 2018.
Angels with Flowers came about after Morris, owner of Intimate Designs Floral in Carson City, made a promise to herself that if she should own her own floral business that she would make weekly visits with floral arrangements in hand to give to those who could use some cheering up.
“I took care of my disabled veteran brother the last four years he was alive. When I went to the group home where he lived, he was the only one who was getting a visitor,” Morris explained. “It broke my heart to see people alone with nothing and no one.”
Anywhere between 1 and four times a week, Morris will bring flowers to senior living homes, Carson Tahoe Regional Healthcare, Carson Tahoe Cancer Center, to private homes and she even helps families cover costs associated with funeral flower arrangements.
“In my heart, a flower arrangement always brings a smile and it is the least I can do,” said Morris.
On Monday, the 99th and 100th flower arrangements went to two elderly women at Carson Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. An arrangement also went to local business sponsor Lone Mountain Veterinary Hospital.
“We try to sponsor a bouquet whenever we can,” said Margie Quirk, owner of Lone Mountain. “We like to try and be involved in the community, and to help out whenever we can. It’s our way of giving back to the community, and Lori and the Angels do such a wonderful thing helping out those who might be alone or going through a hard time at the hospital.”
Morris said the Carson City community has come in strong with vase donations that has allowed Angels with Flowers to donate that many more floral arrangements to those who could use their day brightened.
“We have an awesome community and I’m very appreciative of their support,” she said.
Intimate Designs Floral is located at 444 East William Street in Carson City. Morris is always looking for vase donations and business sponsors. See the web page here and Facebook page here or call (775) 301-6351.
