Be restored + help restore.
Life is most certainly chaotic and tough–we can all agree. Nobody escapes this world unscathed by letdowns and feelings of isolation, grief, and confusion. Such experiences are real and consequentially impactful. We see you.
But they’re not more real than the simple beauty still to be found if you’re looking.
Two things can be true: You can be in a pit that flowers alone won’t fill–of course. And you can experience impactful encouragement and clarity through a kind word, a warm smile, and a bundle of bright blooms that for some beautiful reason slow your racing thoughts, call to mind your surpassing worth, and solidify your next step.
We hope that feeling epitomizes your experience, in whatever capacity, of Noella’s Flowers. That’s why we’re here.
We’re also here to, with your help, take that imparted spark of joy and ignite it across our community.
A portion of all Noella’s Flowers’ proceeds directly benefit Make It Matter: The Collective. A local nonprofit committed to providing hope and practical resources to teens exiting the child welfare system, MIM engages community partners to pursue foster teens’ smooth transition to self sufficiency through 1:1 mentorship, quality and affordable housing, education and employment opportunities, and other services.
About our founder.
After college, Erica Hardesty served the local foster care community as a social worker for three years, during which time she and her husband established Make It Matter: The Collective in pursuit of lasting and practical stability for teens transitioning from foster care to independent living.
Erica then embraced her love of flowers as means of sparking joy to bring you Noella’s Flowers, both Huntsville’s premiere Parisian floral destination and home of day-brightening fresh blooms whose purchase contributes to real hope for foster teens.
