The floral industry knows that flowers make people happy, but the Society of American Florists has groundbreaking research studies – in partnership with major universities and researchers in human emotion – that scientifically prove that flowers have a positive effect on our emotional well-being.
All A'Bloom is a member of the Society of American Florists and we are participating in the #PetalItForward event to show our community the true power of flowers.
#PetalItForward is a nationwide event taking place this week. We’re here in Lee's Summit spreading smiles. We want people to experience this firsthand, so we are giving two bouquets (or flowers) – one to keep, and one to share. We’re petalling it forward!
There is a direct link between flowers and positive emotions. In fact, a Rutgers University study demonstrates that the presence of flowers makes us happy – creating instant delight and enhancing our life satisfaction. Flowers are also proven to provide a moment of calm. Research from the University of North Florida shows that living with flowers, even just for a few days, reduces stress. A nationwide survey conducted by the Society of American Florists revealed 84% of Americans say the best reason for receiving flowers is “just because.” The happiness expressed when giving flowers is just as strong as receiving: 80% of Americans say, “Receiving flowers from others makes me feel happy.” 88% say, “Giving flowers to others makes me feel happy.”
Join us, along with our favorite non-profits, Meals on Wheels Lee's Summit, ReDiscover, and Lee's Summit Social Services in sharing the happiness. We will be handing out flowers all over the community until we run out and will also have a bucket of flowers at the flower shop in Downtown Lee's Summit for you to PETAL IT FORWARD with us!
Let's spread some joy!
