🌱 Charity Blooms Has Gone Mobile! 🚐💚

This year, we’re growing in new and exciting ways to better support the needs of our friends and neighbors. With the help of hundreds of amazing volunteers, we grow fresh herbs and vegetables and donate our harvest to local food pantries and nonprofit partners to promote healthy eating across our community.

We’re thrilled to introduce our very own Blooms Trailer! It’s touring Aurora and the surrounding area—bringing hands‑on gardening classes, healthy eating education, and sometimes even a pop‑up shop to help fund our mission.

Every spring, we also grow thousands of plants to donate to local groups so they can grow alongside us and extend our impact even further. 🌿💛

👉 Stay tuned for dates and locations so you can catch us on the road!

👉 Please note: the Plants tab on our website is for nonprofit partners only.
