YORK FLOWERS IS GOING GREEN! York Flowers, a third generation family owned and operated florist, launches a reuse/recycle campaign—and we’re giving away green plants and making donations to local charities! “One of the things we hear is that people have vases, baskets or ceramics from flowers they have received piling up in their basements, under their sinks, in closets… and they feel guilty just throwing them out,” says Ken Denaburg, president and owner. “It’s time to help out and get your glass, wicker and ceramic containers reused or recycled! So, in exchange for people turning in their old containers, we’re giving out green plants to bring more ‘green’ into homes. Plus, we wanted to do more, so we’re making financial ‘green’ donations to important local organizations.”

Being Green Has Never Been Easier!
It's so easy! Simply bring your glass, ceramic and wicker containers to either York Flowers location and receive a green plant. For every five reusable containers brought in at one time, customers will have a a $3.00 donation made on their behalf to one of the following charities:

AAMC Women’s & Children’s Center
Montgomery County Hospice
Children’s Inn at National Institutes of Health
St Mary’s High School, Annapolis, MD
Everybody Wins DC

York Flowers will evaluate each container to see if it is able to be reused and filled perfectly with amazing fresh blooms again.  Containers that can’t be reused will be recycled.
