Flowers for Kids

20th Apr 2015

Soderberg’s Floral & Gift wrapped up another successful “Flowers for Kids” event at two schools in the Longfellow neighborhood. Three classes, each consisting of 35 third grade students at Anne Sullivan School, and three classes of 40 students each at Dowling School took part in this year’s event.

The students worked with our employees to learn about flowers and discover what happens inside a flower shop. They were taught why people give flowers, how flowers invoke feelings, how they grow, where they come from, how to take care of them and make their own bouquets. Each student was also given flowers to take home allowing them the chance to share what they learned.

Each student was also encouraged to visit the shop in person. During their visit if they tell any staff member what Kym’s favorite flower is (carnation) they will receive free flowers.

Our partner and sponsor for this event was Len Busch Roses of Plymouth, MN.
