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.
