Flowers have always brought me incredible joy, but I've discovered something even more beautiful: the connections that bloom when we share flowers with others.
Through my floristry journey, I've witnessed how a simple gesture can spark friendship, ease loneliness, and remind someone they matter.
That's why I created The Community Posy Project—to help cure loneliness by bringing people together through the simple, powerful act of creating and sharing flowers.
What is The Community Posy Project?
The Community Posy Project is a volunteer initiative that gives back in a few ways. Firstly by bringing together caring community members to create beautiful small posies of flowers and we gift them to people who may feel lonely and isolated in our community. Our mission is to combat disconnection and spread joy through the simple gift of fresh flowers.
Every month, volunteers gather at our Langwarrin florist studio to arrange seasonal blooms, share stories, and be part of something truly meaningful. No experience is necessary—just bring yourself, a caring heart, and the desire to make a difference.
The second way is by taking the Posy project workshops out into the community for others to experience. It may be aged care, school groups or sporting organisations. What ever the way, the idea is to help cure loneliness by bringing people together through the simple, powerful act of creating and sharing flowers.
How It Works
1. Join Our Volunteer Sessions
- When: 1-hour session monthly - Dates at top of page
- Where: Flowers for Jane studio 8 Altarnun Rd Langwarrin
- What to bring: Just yourself, a caring heart, and clean jam jars or glass jars
- Contribution: $11 (includes GST) per session to cover flowers, foliage and ribbon.
2. What Happens During a Session
Our sessions are designed to be warm, welcoming, and fun. When you arrive, you'll:
- Enjoy tea, coffee, and light refreshments while socialising with fellow volunteers
- Learn simple flower arranging techniques with Cassy in a relaxed, supportive environment
- Write kind messages on gift cards to attach to the flowers
- Create multiple small posy jars using fresh, seasonal flowers
- Share stories, connect with neighbours, and be part of something meaningful
No experience is necessary—all skill levels are welcome! Please note that children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
3. Distribution Network
Once created, our beautiful posies are delivered by:
- Flowers for Jane drivers
- Individual volunteers
4. Where the Posies Go
Our flower arrangements bring smiles to:
- Retirement village residents
- Nursing home residents
- People receiving Meals on Wheels or other individuals accessing council support services
- Anyone in our community experiencing loneliness or isolation
Why $11?
Your small contribution helps us:
- Purchase fresh, quality flowers from local suppliers
- Provide glass jars when donations run low
- Cover basic materials like ribbon and gift & flower care cards
- Ensure sustainability of the project for ongoing community impact
Every dollar goes directly into creating more moments of joy for those who need them most.
