"Random Acts of Kindness" is one of humanity's most uplifting concepts. I not only find the idea inspiring and enriching, but also a little mischievous and fun. So when I heard of Lonely Bouquet Day, I felt like I had found the Holy Grail of Surprise Kindness.
What is Lonely Bouquet Day? Simply put, it is a day dedicated to spreading goodwill and happiness with flowers. The tradition was started by Fleuropean, a small flower farm and design studio located in Belgium. What began as a local grassroots movement to spread the joy of flowers has blossomed into an international phenomenon. This year the date is set for Sunday, June 28th.
How do I join in? Anyone can participate, and although the "official date" is slated for June 28th, this kind of surprise kindness can take place any and every day if you want. Just follow these three steps:
Step 1: Purchase/gather/pick a selection of flowers and arrange to your liking.
Step 2: Add a tag that reads "Take me home!" or "Adopt me!" or whatever tickles your fancy.
Step 3: Abandon the bouquet in a public place for some lucky stranger to find.
