DBD Florist
DBD Florist
Wilmington, MA

We believe flowers and plants are teachers. When a girl learns to identify a stem, understand water absorption, create balance in a vase, and care for living things, she's learning patience, creativity, and responsibility all at once. She's connecting with nature in a real way.
Our programs combine education with empowerment. Girls leave with:
Knowledge of flower types, seasonal availability, and design fundamentals
Hands-on skills they can use to create gifts for people they love
A deeper appreciation for nature and what it offers us
Confidence in their own creativity and ability to make something beautiful
Whether it's a flower badge workshop, a seasonal planting program, planter gardens for them to enjoy or a wrapped arrangement class, we tailor each experience to meet badge requirements while celebrating the girl's individual growth. We source quality flowers locally and globally, create custom educational content, and show them that working with nature builds real-world skills and connection.
Our goal is simple: empower Girl Scouts to see flowers and plants not as decorations, but as living gifts they can nurture, understand, and share with their community.
Message Flowers and customized classes for The Flower Badge, Art & Design Badge, and Shapes in Nature Badges

At She Thrives, we understand the "growing pains" involved in puberty and periods. Entering this journey of growth and change can be scary, embarrassing, uncomfortable, and even isolating. Who we're with, language used, and "vibe" of the atmosphere greatly influences how new information is imprinted on our brain, long-term. It's not just about what content is taught, but how it's delivered. Did you know experts developed a theory that the female response to stress is to "tend and befriend"? This means conquering challenging experiences through connection and bonding. With a careful balance of creativity and clinical expertise, we have developed a body change themed learning experience that cultivates confidence, comfort, and autonomy for girls with their peers: "Period Party" and "B-Wise Body Bash".
