Make and Share Joyful Fall Bouquets with Friends and Family

Fall is a wonderful time to get outdoors, enjoy the changing colors, and gather nature’s gifts. At Blessings Grow Meadows, we believe in the simple magic of creating and sharing bouquets as heartfelt gifts. This season, make it an activity to enjoy with your kids or friends, creating beautiful bouquets to spread joy and brighten someone’s day!

Step 1: Foraging for Fall Blooms

Autumn offers a beautiful array of flowers and plants to add to your bouquets. Here are a few favorites you might find growing naturally:

Goldenrods: These bright yellow blooms add a touch of warm sunshine.

Asters: With shades of purple and blue, asters add a lovely pop of color.

Sumac Branches: Known for their deep red leaves, sumac branches give a rustic fall feel.


Where to Forage Responsibly:

Look for wildflowers in local parks or trails (just be sure to follow any local guidelines).

Find blooms along public roadsides (be cautious and pick safely).

Check with local farms or designated foraging areas that allow flower picking.


Only gather what you need and leave enough for others to enjoy and for nature to thrive!

Step 2: Bundling Bouquets

Now that you’ve gathered your blooms, it’s time to create beautiful bundles! Here’s what you’ll need:

Twine or Ribbon: A simple but charming way to tie your bouquets.

Personalized Notes: Handwrite a message for each bouquet, making each one a little more special.


Let the kids or friends personalize their notes, drawings, or messages. It’s a meaningful way to share kindness and create memories together.

Step 3: Share the Joy

The best part of this activity is giving! Take a few bouquets to neighbors, leave one on a friend’s doorstep, or surprise family members.

Each bouquet will be a little piece of autumn shared, bringing smiles to those who receive them.
