The Community Posy Project

Spreading Joy & Connection Through Flowers

In a world where loneliness and isolation have become increasingly common, sometimes the simplest gestures can make the biggest difference. A small posy of fresh flowers, lovingly arranged and thoughtfully given, has the power to brighten someone's day and remind them they're not forgotten.

That's the heart of The Community Posy Project, hosted by Flowers for Jane.

What is The Community Posy Project?

The Community Posy Project is a volunteer initiative that brings together caring community members to create beautiful small posies of flowers for lonely and isolated people 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 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.

How It Works

1. Join Our Volunteer Sessions

• When: 1-hour session monthly - First on 7th of November at 10am
• 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 collected and delivered by:

• Flowers for Jane drivers
• Local charity organisations
• Community support groups
• 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.
