March Kindness Campaign
Author: Lisa Higgens, Broadwater Blooms
March Kindness Campaign Lisa Higgens, Broadwater Blooms Broadwater Blooms March Kindness Campaign is a month-long campaign that spreads kindness by inspiring the public to send flowers to create joy and happiness in someone’s life, especially those who may need to be uplifted. We offer $15 bouquets with four spring blooms and free delivery inside city limits.
Kindness is contagious! Over the past 3 years, there have been many surprised faces, many uplifts from flower power, and many pay it forwards. Bouquets come to recipients as a complete surprise because there is no special occasion. Sometimes they are anonymous, which drives people crazy; but we will not tell who it is from even if you beg us. : ) Friends try to guess and do a pay-it-forward and it might not even be to the person that sent it. It can get quite hilarious. There are some very sneaky people out there.
Broadwater Blooms began this campaign in March of 2020. This was just before Covid ramped up. It was a huge success that year in particular because of all the people being shut in. We delivered over 100 bouquets. In 2021 we far exceeded our 100 bouquets and again it came at a needed time.
Things have settled down somewhat, but this has now become a tradition. Throughout the year customers ask us if we are still going to do the March Kindness $15 bouquets. We can’t say no, even with gas prices higher it is a way we can give back to our community and show appreciation to our customers.
Every year we have been able to send bouquets to Silver Springs Assisted Living, Serenity Point, and Billings Clinic nursing home residents because of our wonderful community sponsoring the bouquets. This can be done for a specific recipient, or for a member of the group in general. We have delivered to the Sheriff’s department, dentist's office, many teachers, and whole neighborhoods. There are so many to whom we would like to send flowers, and it is a great way to say that you appreciate and care about someone!
We need nominations! Anyone can nominate a deserving person. And remember, we have to have the address and phone number of the person being nominated. It is so great to nominate those you appreciate, but if we don’t have complete information it is very hard to get the bouquet to them so do a little detective work and get us those details, please.
Call 406-266-3558 or stop by the shop to order or pick one up.
