We hope you and your loved ones are staying safe and healthy. We know that flowers can be especially pleasant to have around in a time when many of us are self-quarantining or socially distancing, so we are doing our best to continue delivering to you. That being said, the health and safety of our community is the most important thing. We wanted to let you know about some changes that we are making - and continuously re-evaluating - in this uncertain time.

The Center at Red Oak is a full service center for senior citizens, providing arts, health and wellness, education, and other supportive programming. ReVased is so excited to provide flowers to this center and bolster the Center’s efforts to make the aging population feel good.

We love working with Levindale Hebrew Geriatric Center and Hospital in Baltimore! Levindale offers care for the elderly, ill, and disabled.

Thank you to Alyson Krueger from the New York Times for covering our recent upcycling work with Pic and Petal. We loved talking with you about incorporating an eco-conscious approach to cut flowers, always relevant but especially around Valentine’s Day.

We are proud to deliver to two Goddard Riverside facilities, the Goddard Riverside Senior Center and the Lincoln Square Senior Center.

Check out our co-founders Aviva and Arielle Vogelstein discussing ReVased with Jennifer Franciotti on WBAL TV 11 Baltimore.

We are so excited that Bloomberg featured us in their awesome story “Valentine’s Day Flowers Don’t Have to Be So Bad for the Earth After All” by Claire Ballentine. The story sheds light on the important issues surrounding cut flowers and we’re honored that we were mentioned as an eco-friendly option. Check it out here!

The frigid weather, shorter days, and limited sunlight during the winter months can often take a toll on our mental health. Feeling down during this time of year, often known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), can cause us to withdraw from family and friends and feel unmotivated to accomplish the goals we had once set out at the beginning of the year. Research has shown that incorporating flowers and plants into our daily life can have tremendous positive impacts on our physical and mental health.

As the year comes to an end, many of us are working on our New Year’s resolutions for the upcoming year. We’re signing up for gym memberships, vowing to keep in touch with family members more, and promising to take better care of ourselves. As we all know, while we may be motivated to stick to our resolutions now, the reality is that we often give up on them after only a few weeks. It’s important to set practical resolutions and commit to new behaviors which have a positive impact on your well-being. Here at ReVased, our (obvious) recommendation is to commit to regularly surrounding yourself with flowers.

The holiday season is all about giving. Whether you’re celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, or just enjoying the jovial winter spirit, we all feel the need to spread more love and give back during this time of year. Giving ReVased flowers, upcycled flowers that are both eco-friendly and cost-efficient, are the perfect gift for this time of year.

Casa Mutua provides permanent supportive housing for formerly homeless, mentally ill single adults. Its mission is to help residents gain independence and stability through comprehensive social support programming. We are so excited to ReVase flowers for Casa Mutua’s 54-unit residence in NYC.

At ReVased, we feel so lucky to contribute to RMHNY’s mission of providing a caring, loving environment by brightening up the rooms and lives of patients and their families through the upcycling of flowers.
