This week’s Life in Bloom Episode #808 is dedicated to the Health and Wellness benefits of Flowers- Watch NOW!
I’m excited to share the Latest Season 8 Episode- #808 Wellness in Bloom - premiering this week on PBS Stations all across the Country. This show centers around the Health and Wellness Benefits of Flowers- that were discovered in research done by Dr. Haviland Jones at Rutgers and Harvard University- as well as additional research and other locations throughout the world. We’ve made it easy for you to learn more about these studies- by compiling them in a blog- that you can find at this link: uBloom.com/research - You can read all the research we have compiled there!
My Friend Shelley Irwin- from The Shelley Irwin Show on NPR- WGVU Public Media- joins me in the kitchen- Watch NOW!
We start off this episode with the Health and Wellness Research and follow it up with a visit with my Flower Friend Shelley Irwin- host of the Shelley Irwin Show on NPR- WGVU Public Media… Shelley is always VERY VERY Involved in Community efforts and volunteers in so many different events, causes and more… #MoreToDo… you’ll enjoy this visit with Shelley as we talk about her different roles in volunteer work- and also as we create a couple of arrangements together… Rest Assured there is a Flower Crown for Shelley as well…
I share wonderful affordable arrangements that are ideal for Seniors- and offer Wellness Benefits too… Watch and Learn NOW!
Next up we talk about the Benefits that Flowers provide to Seniors… including enlarging their circles of friends… seeking medical attention for things that ail them… and most importantly- feeling happier and less depressed… it’s amazing- and it’s easy… as well as affordable… I show simple easy ways- to create small one flower arrangements… or an arrangement from the garden or famers market… there’s even a solution for people that don’t access to fresh flowers … so check out this wonderful segment!
Make a Bouquet- and give it away… it’s a wonderful way to share the Wellness Benefits with a Friend- Watch Now!
I love to give flowers to other people… in fact - last week at the Farmers Market- my Flower Grower Friend Frannie- had Lily of the Valley Bunches- and I bought half a dozen to give away to my Farmer Friends that have stands at the Market… it’s a simple way to share LOVE and KINDNESS- and it benefits not only the recipient but it makes the GIVER Happier too… it’s a simple gesture- and I guess I learned it from my Grandpa- Carnation Joe… who used to give away bunches of Violets - from our greenhouses to friends and strangers… it’s a GOOD THING!
Let’s talk about a method for helping friends that are sick- get better faster… it’s Magical Medicine… actually- it’s Flowers- people that receive flowers- get better fast… it’s another study by Dr. Haviland Jones (uBloom.com/research) - if the Flowers are YELLOW people will get better even faster… so I take this opportunity to make a Yellow and Green Arrangement- that features Yellow Rudbeckia - and Yellow/Orange Dahlias… it’s a wonderful bokay from the Garden… and it’s soothing to watch someone arrange flowers too…
Finally- and this is one of my favorite pieces of research… Homes that have Flowers in them- have fewer arguements… thanks again Dr. Jones for your research - uBloom.com/research - in this segment I talk about the research- and show you a few simple steps - for picking up a bouquet- and prepping it for a vase in your home… and that’s how easy it is…
Flowers and Wellness go Hand in Hand… and thanks to Dr. Haviland Jones- we have Proof… and that is what my Series - Life in Bloom - has always been about… it’s about the Flowers - and how they can simply and easily - provide Good Health and Wellness Improvement… I hope you Enjoy this wonderful episode- and it provides a great reason (I hope many) for Bringing flowers home- and living a Life in Bloom! Much love my friends…
