🌷🌿As we celebrate the beauty and symbolism of the Easter tulips, we also recognize the importance of giving back to our community. Through our innovative sustainable solar-powered, indoor flower farming initiatives, we can keep our inner-city youth employed year-round, cultivating more than 30,000 tulips in our solar-powered grow rooms. Read our latest blog on why Easter Tulips are a symbol of resurrection and renewal.

Southside Blooms is excited to be bringing youth jobs to the west side with the launch of their West side branch later this year!

🌸 Southside Blooms is not your typical Chicago non-profit. Instead of crops, they harvest flowers to fight poverty. They turn vacant lots into vibrant flower beds, offer jobs to local at-risk youth, and foster community growth. 🌹 As highlighted by NBC 5's LeeAnn Trotter, this is more than a garden—it's a movement for hope and empowerment.
