LoCoFlo Gives Back: Martha’s Place

On Tuesday, I was super excited to donate  flowers for Martha’s Place 9th Anniversary Fundraiser. Martha’s Place is a fabulous non-profit in West Baltimore that serves women in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. The folks that run Martha’s Place; Todd Marcus, the Harris’,  Angela Long and the rest of their team are really phenomenal. They are tireless advocates for women in need. I am so proud to know them and to be associated with them.

I loved making the  little vase arrangements that were put on the tables.

One of the great joys of visiting Martha’s Place is the real feeling of peace you feel in the midst of all of the urban ills that plagues inner city communities throughout Baltimore.

  1. Ellen and LoCoFlo,

    Thanks again for your generosity to provide your beautiful flowers for our event for Martha's Place. They looked beautiful and I was fortunate to enjoy one of the displays on my desk in the days following the event. Really nice blog too. Would love to get copies of the photos of your flowers in our garden under the tent.
