In this episode of Celebrations Chatter, Jim sits down with Karen Wooldridge, co-founder of Bluebirds & Blooms, to discuss how she and her childhood friend and co-founder, Laura Hogan, bring joy to memory care and hospice patients by delivering repurposed flowers. What began as an idea over a cup of coffee has now grown into a nonprofit that has delivered over 90,000 bouquets across Minnesota. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about the power of taking action, finding purpose, and building community. Karen and Laura took an act of generosity and created a lasting impact.
