Jodi Kirsch, owner of the Flower Tribe in Fort Collins is making a difference. Jodi realized that many seniors are feeling extra isolated during this unique period and time, and decided to contribute her gifts to brighten up the day of some lucky local seniors. Jodi received nominations from several organizations and individuals who serve seniors, and put together beautiful bouquets to be delivered to them on May Day. Tags were designed and created by Johnstown resident Ginger Phillips. Two volunteers jumped into their car and set out to deliver the beautiful flowers!
When you ar e look ing t o send f lower s...why should you choose Flower Tr ibe? Flower Tribe is passionate about making mindful flower choices and delights in bringing your unique flower point of view to life. Locally grown flowers are always their first choice. They source their flowers as close to home as they can. Fair-trade Certified Flower Farms, Rain-forest Alliance Certified and VeriFlora Certified flower and American Grown choices for what they can not get close by. Arrangements are presented in vintage, up-cycled and re-cycled vases and pots. They compost all their floral stems and organic debris back to a local flower farmer from whom they source their flowers, and to other local green waste recipients, bringing the process full circle.
Floral foam has a DIRTY LITTLE SECRET! It is a one use plastic that breaks down into micro plastics. It is carcinogenic and toxic to humans. It does not compost or biodegrade. For this and other environmental reasons, Flower Tribe is 100% floral foam free to keep their carbon footprint a little lighter. Unused or gently used flowers are re-purposed and donated to non-profits or other charitable enterprises with values inline with their own. Flower Tribe reuses and recycles every gosh darn little thing they can. Last, but not least, they create stunning and unusual flower arrangements!
