Welcome to the City Blossoms Webgarden! City Blossoms
is a 501(c)3 organization that uses gardening to create environmental,
nutritional, and cultural connections for children and youth. We are
dedicated to empowering children, youth and community organizations in
developing dynamic and productive green projects.
City Blossoms
began nine years ago as a volunteer project and has since evolved to a
year-round program that includes consulting, curriculum development
(with consideration for learning standards), and on-site weekly
workshops. To date, City Blossoms has worked with over 500 children and youth in various gardening projects.
City Blossoms
has designed a unique method of developing and managing robust green
spaces where children and youth are engaged as the main cultivators. We
specialize in an art-based, hands-on approach that emphasizes the
strengths and unique qualities of each learning center. All City Blossoms projects are organic and designed to work with the local environment and community needs. We look forward to bringing City Blossoms
to schools and learning centers all around the area and increasing
children and youth awareness about caring for the environment and
themselves.
