2 . Jennifer Grove, founder of Repeat Roses, was once an event planner. She saw how often the beautiful—and costly—flowers people used to make their _______ joyful went to waste when their events were _______. “I was looking at a sea of flowers that had been enjoyed for a few hours and were headed for the _______ ,” Grove told CBS News about what she _______ in her former career back in 2012. She’d had enough of the heartbreak and even _______ leaving the event-planning industry.

Then she started donating flowers her _______ were no longer using to nursing homes. In 2014, when she realized the positive social impact of what she did, Grove _______ the non-profit organization Repeat Roses. This pick-up and delivery service will remove your flowers after your event and _______ them to those in need at nursing homes, hospitals, shelters and more.

For Grove, the most _______ part of her service is how it makes those in need feel when they get their flowers. “You feel the sadness, you feel the ________ in the air, and there’s just something about bringing flowers that completely ________ the atmosphere.”

Through Repeat Roses, Grove believes she’s making a lasting ________ , not only to people’s spirits, but also to ________ , by recycling flowers and reducing waste.

“When you recognize how much ________ people are in, whether it’s mental, emotional or physical, and you can do one ________ thing to help them, it means something,” Grove said.
