Welcome to Southside Blooms, a non-profit farm-to-vase florist that sprouted from the seeds of compassion and a commitment to community uplifting.
We proudly stand as a project under the wing of the Chicago Eco House, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit on a mission to leverage sustainability for the alleviation of inner-city poverty.
Southside Blooms was born out of compassion and a deep commitment to community well-being. Recognizing the untapped potential of vacant lots in underserved neighborhoods, we saw an opportunity to not just beautify these spaces but also create employment opportunities for inner-city kids.
