The Story of Pollenaters 

In December of 2019, Pollenaters was formed to bring joy to the local Southern California community. After discovering that wedding flowers are typically thrown away after the ceremony, I wanted to see if there was a way to save the flowers and give them a new home. I gathered my closest friends and embarked on a mission that became the Pollenaters. Most weekends you can find us repurposing flowers in my garage. We especially enjoy delivering arrangements to nearby firefighters, assisted living facilities, women’s shelters, first responders, teachers, Marine families, small businesses and neighbors!

– Charlotte Quintanar (Founder)
