Random Acts of Flowers delivers recycled flowers to local health care facilities by coordinating with event hosts in Knoxville, Tennessee; Tampa; Chicago; and Indianapolis. The Knoxville-based organization transforms lightly used flowers, which it receives from florists, grocery stores, funeral homes, weddings, and other local events, into bouquets. (Donations can be dropped off, or pickup can be arranged within a 30-minute radius of the facilities.) The group also hosts Flowers After Hours events, where attendees can participate in a hands-on demonstration with a local floral design expert. Each person takes home an arrangement; any additional arrangements are delivered to a local nursing home.
