The Society of American Florists is spreading cheer with its annual “Pedal It Forward” event, on October 15.
Participants can visit a participating flower shop to receive two free bouquets.
The idea is to keep one bouquet and give the other away, offering a simple way to brighten someone’s day with an unexpected gift.
“They’re kinda surprised, ’cause they’re like, oh, what’s the catch. But we’re just trying to, we’re having a day of being kind. They say, they’ve done studies and when you receive flowers it makes your brain have a little bit more mental health,” said Tabitha Phifer, owner of Flowers by Taby in Eugene. “It’s a positive, so, that’s like, why we like to share flowers, and it gives them, when they get to give one away it makes them feel better too, so…”
The whole point of the day is to increase smiles and decrease stress!
