Petal-ing It Forward with The Flower Station

Stuff We Love

Oct. 11, 2025

On Wednesday, Oct. 15, the Society of American Florists celebrates Petal It Forward, the organization’s “goodwill initiative where participants hand two flowers or bouquets to an unsuspecting stranger, urging them to keep one and share the other with someone else.” The Flower Station in Traverse City is one of the participating florists, and owner Dan Rohe can’t wait to make customers and passersby smile. “As new owners of The Flower Station, we are participating this year to spread the message of joy and happiness flowers provide combined with the message of giving,” Rohe says. “We hope to share with our community the real power of flowers and the feel-good emotions of giving. And flowers are the best!” Find the Flower Station at 341 W Front St. in Traverse City.
