Today is National Flower Arranging Day, not that we need an excuse to make up a beautiful bouquet of our favourite spring flowers
National Flower Arranging Day
If you fancy arranging a posy of blooms, why not make a second and join in with the Lonely Bouquet? Today, the National Association of Flower Arrangement Societies will distribute 60,000 lonely bouquets - beautiful little bunches of flowers left in surprise locations for strangers to find and take home on National Flower Arranging Day.
What is the Lonely Bouquet?
The random act of kindness initiative dubbed the Lonely Bouquet was the brainchild of a young florist in Belgium named Emily Avenso, who blogged about the idea after leaving flowers for strangers two years ago. The idea went viral and Lonely Bouquets have been distributed across the globe ever since.
If you make or spot a Lonely Bouquet, take a picture and share with us on Facebook or Twitter.
