Brunch & Blooms Planting Seeds of Change in our Community

The Source is excited to present a new event for 2025 – Brunch and Blooms, planting the seeds of change in our community. This event will focus on homelessness in our community, with a special emphasis for Women’s History Month and how the experience of housing insecurity impacts women. In addition to highlighting this unique perspective, we will provide insights into our work in the community as well as celebrate the powerful women within the organization.

Brunch & Blooms is a unique event that will intertwine the beautiful flower & tree farm venue of The Tree House together with food, drink and local vendors including Seahorse Lane Boutique. Idlewild Co. and Wang & Dickerson tea on Friday, March 28 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. This is a ticketed event and all guests must have pre-purchased tickets to attend.  The main event’s focus is to unite women of all ages and local businesses and their varied life experiences to share and spread the vision of improving our community and empowering women.

This sold-out event includes a sit-down meal catered by Dignity Catering, a coffee bar, mimosa’s and soft drinks. Guests will be eligible to enter a raffle for a premium prize basket including gift cards and contributions from local shops and businesses. Each guest will enjoy a parting gift reminiscent of their day… seed packets of local wild flowers… tying the theme all together… “Planting Seeds of Change in our Community.”

A program will be led by staff from the Source, including Jade Alexander, Director of Operations, a representative from the Dignity Wellness program, and Anthony Zorbaugh, Executive Director of The Source. The program will also include a video presentation introducing the programs and services from The Source available for all their members. Expect to meet and hear from several female members of The Source who will share their experiences and success stories. Committee members include Veronica Kluener, Maria Sommers, Margaret Anne Evans, Jade Alexander, Joanne Balshi, Carla Friedman and Jonathan Orozco.

The Tree House is a flower farm in the spring, and guests will be seated at tables surrounded by nature with each table setting featuring centerpieces of greenery and blooms from the venue’s gardens. The venue is on a private tropical tree farm, nestled amongst a nature preserve with convenient attached parking and located at 8010 43rd Ave, Vero Beach, FL 32967.
