About Us:

The Flower Foundation was founded on 18 May 1946 by the late Mr. Albert Edward Andersen, formerly with the Department of Social Welfare and Pensions. It has been registered as a Welfare Organization for many years and has been a non profit company since 1957. The Flower Foundation is also registered as a Public Benefit Organisation.

All the buildings and funds are owned by the Section 21 Company Incorporated not for gain. All funds and bequests are gratefully received and devoted solely to the purpose of homes for the aged.

The Flower Foundation now proudly boasts four housing projects on a rental basis:
