Birthday Flowers for YMCA Employees

Sending flowers to someone at work is a thoughtful way to celebrate a birthday. Ward’s can deliver a fresh arrangement, roses, seasonal flowers or a plant directly to an employee at the Sterling Center.

Because the YMCA includes many different programs and work areas, please include the recipient’s department or program whenever you know it.

Teacher & Early Learning Staff Appreciation

The Sterling Center is home to the Greater Beverly YMCA Early Learning Center. Flowers can be an appropriate gift for teachers, administrators and staff members for appreciation, professional milestones and other recognition occasions.

Appropriate choices may include:

• Colorful mixed bouquets
• Seasonal vase arrangements
• Presentation bouquets
• Green plants
• Blooming plants

When placing the order, identify the recipient as part of the Early Learning Center whenever applicable.

Coach & Instructor Recognition Flowers

YMCA programs depend on coaches, instructors and program leaders in areas such as swimming, gymnastics, fitness and youth activities.

A bouquet can provide a personal way to recognize:

• A longtime coach
• A favorite instructor
• A retiring program leader
• A professional accomplishment
• Completion of a successful season or program
• Exceptional service to members and families

Retirement Flowers for YMCA Staff

Retirement is especially meaningful for an employee who has spent years working with Beverly families and YMCA members.

Ward’s can create:

• Presentation bouquets
• Vase arrangements
• Plants
• Flowers for a staff recognition gathering
• Several coordinated arrangements when ordered in advance

For a scheduled retirement presentation or multiple-arrangement order, please contact Ward’s in advance so delivery can be coordinated with the event time.

Volunteer Appreciation Flowers

Volunteers can play an important role in YMCA programs and community activities. Flowers or plants can provide a thoughtful way to thank someone for their time and contribution.

Individual presentation bouquets work especially well for volunteer recognition because they can be given directly to the recipient.

Congratulations & Achievement Flowers

The Sterling Center hosts athletic, recreational and developmental programs throughout the year. Flowers may be appropriate for an adult employee, instructor, coach or other recipient celebrating an achievement or milestone.

Examples include:

• Professional awards
• Promotions
• Coaching milestones
• Program accomplishments
• Years-of-service recognition
• Competition or team recognition

If flowers are connected to a scheduled competition, ceremony or presentation, provide the event name and timing whenever possible.

Flowers for Swimming & Gymnastics Recognition

The Sterling Center includes both aquatic and gymnastics facilities and hosts organized programs and competitions.

Presentation bouquets may be appropriate for coaches, instructors, graduating participants, senior recognition, awards or other confirmed celebration occasions.

For time-sensitive event flowers, ordering in advance is recommended.

Thank-You & Appreciation Flowers

Flowers can be delivered to thank a staff member, instructor, teacher, administrator or volunteer who has made a positive difference.

A bright vase arrangement, bouquet or plant can make an appropriate workplace gift without requiring a formal event.

Sympathy Flowers Delivered to YMCA Staff

When a YMCA employee, instructor or volunteer experiences a personal loss, coworkers, friends or family members may choose to send a sympathy arrangement directly to the workplace.

Appropriate workplace sympathy gifts include:

• Soft-colored vase arrangements
• White-and-green floral designs
• Peace lilies
• Green plants
• Blooming plants
• European-style plant gardens

Larger funeral-service pieces such as standing sprays, wreaths and casket flowers should generally be delivered to the funeral home, church or memorial-service location.

Plant Delivery to the Sterling Center

Plants can be a convenient workplace gift because the recipient can enjoy them at work and later take them home.

Ward’s carries a changing selection of:

• Green plants
• Blooming plants
• Orchids
• Peace lilies
• Dish gardens
• European-style plant baskets
