A gift of flowers is designed to lift the spirits.

And that's the idea behind

the Leaving Smells UK initiative, leaving bunches of blooms in public places for strangers to find.

It's a gift from a stranger.

Throughout these times, it's hard to speak to people.

It's hard to get in contact with people.

So strangers are who you're going to see.

And if we leave the gifts with them, and hopefully they kind of spread it, that's what we're looking for.

The florist is donating 50 bunches of flowers each week to volunteers via social media, who then leave them in random places with a card saying, please take me Lovely.

I'm going to take this gorgeous bouquet of flowers and leave it for a stranger somewhere.

See if we can spread a smile today, smiles that can be seen on the faces of three people who've already taken part in the scheme.

Strangers once now connected through the campaign's hashtag on Instagram during lockdown, when everyone's been a bit gloom and you can't see the friends or family, I think it's important to be able to spread, like a little bit enjoyed someone's life, even if it's just even a blue care flower.

Somewhere, we went up and just saw a little tag just on, basically on on the flowers, really just saying, take me.

So, being a Yorkshire LA default, it's free.

I love that. When you start to think about it, it's such a small jetty that can mean so much, and after such hardship and people going through more than you can imagine, so little things like this can really help boot peoples around confidence.

Brought a massive smile to my face when I saw them, because I realized that in part to their there in a positive way, And it's a little gesture from me, which so I made their lives a bit more positive.

The hope is that people who receive flowers might be inspired to carry out a random act of kindness of their own.

I'm going to leave these flowers here on this bench.

A few people come to look at the bouquet, before some children eventually pluck up the courage to take the flowers to mom.

This isn't the 1st scheme to encourage kindness one strangers, but in these socially distant times, it's bringing people just that little bit closer.
