Flower truck gets bought up for residents of Grande Prairie seniors’ home
Residents of Wildrose Manor in Grande Prairie received a very special surprise on Thursday afternoon from the Gypsy Bloom Flower Truck, courtesy of Rene Blais and RB Oilfield Hauling.
The truck made the stop after Blais purchased an entire truck load of fresh cut flowers for the residents of a seniors’ home to pick a bouquet for their rooms, as a way to spread some positivity amid continued COVID-19 restrictions at care facilities.
Owner of Gypsy Bloom Flower Truck, Joline Willsey, says Blais approached her this past Saturday about buying up the truck load of flowers to give away.
“At the beginning, I wasn’t sure if he was serious,” recalled Willsey, who was taken back by the generosity.
