Vancouver 2010
Just Beginnings Flowers and Margitta’s Flowers of North Vancouver worked together to produce the victory ceremony bouquets for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Vancouver in February and March 2010.
These bouquets were designed by our lead designer June Strandberg. June’s former students, who have overcome significant barriers, worked with her to create a bouquet for each medal-winning athlete. They watched the medal ceremonies proudly and knew that they had a hand in creating the beautiful bouquets that were seen around the world. We also had the chance to tell our stories as we were profiled by many news organizations during the games.
