When Lamar Shahbazian received a large amount of flowers from her neighbor who is a floral designer, she decided to head down to the United Methodist Church on D Street and begin making small bouquets to give out freely. Passersby got to pick bouquets or make them themselves. What better way to celebrate graduations, the end of the school year, and the start of summer than with fresh flowers? (Thursday, June 4, 2026.
