International Women’s Day Flowers Inspired by Edmonton Women
Every March, International Women's Day invites us to celebrate the achievements, creativity, and resilience of women around the world. At The Lavender House, we believe flowers can be more than a gift. They can be a symbol of appreciation, recognition, and support.
This year, we are proud to introduce our Empower Through Flowers collection, a special series of International Women’s Day flowers created in collaboration with inspiring women in Edmonton’s creative community. Each bouquet reflects the artistry and entrepreneurial spirit of a local woman whose work continues to shape our city.
When you choose one of our happy International Women’s Day flowers, you are doing more than sending a beautiful bouquet. You are helping support women in our community. For every bouquet purchased from this collection, $10 will be donated to 1000 Women, a charity dedicated to empowering women through funding and opportunity.
