Watch them blossom: At N Street Village, homeless women create floral art - Washington Post

Clients carry with them a sheet of paper that’s signed each time they complete an activity. By doing five activities and a chore each week, they are allowed to use Bethany Women’s Day Center on the weekend.It’s a gentle way of encouraging buy-in from the ladies.[Food for the body and food for the soul at N Street Village’s day center]A woman pulls a yellow dahlia from a bucket. It immediately starts shedding petals. Anderson-Hall shows her a trick. She gently plucks the outer pedals from the stem — pluck, pluck, pluck — until she reaches the inner petals. These are still firmly attached.She’s exposed the pale green star-shaped structure that holds the petals in place. It’s pleasing in its own way.Even here, Anderson-Hall finds a metaphor.“We see our outer, but we don’t see our inner, unfortunately,” she says. “What we typically don’t see is beautiful.”After an hour, 16 once-empty vases now explode with blossoms. I’m amazed at how many stems the women have been able to fit into each container. The results remind me of the Dutch Master still-lifes known as pronkstilleven.“All the flowers work to support each other,” says Anderson-Hall.At a table in the back, a woman in a red knit cap has made an arrangement that, to me, resembles her. The display is squat and compact. So is she. She has a red knit cap atop her head. The arrangement has a spray of red hypericum berries. There are the pompoms of “green trick” dianthus and the tight petals of crimson ranunculus. Above the main grouping are stems of silver dollar eucalyptus, the pale flat leaves resembling treads on a cantilevered stairway.It’s an arrangement that wouldn’t look out of place at a high-end florist.“I would put them in my home,” the woman says, admiring her creation. “But I don’t have a home.”You can helpN Street Village is a partner in The Washington Post Helping Hand.
