Our work serves Black, Latino, and children of immiagrant backgrounds, ages 2-19.Applying our unique brand of gardens, science, art, healthy living, and community building, we "blossom" in neighborhoods where kids, their families, and neighbors may not otherwise have access to green spaces. City Blossoms' five age-targeted create a pathway where toddlers make their first connections to nature, children grow as stewards of their environment, and young people bloom as leaders.Check out ourInstagram,Facebook, orTwitterpages and ourwebsiteto learn more about the fantastic, functional, community-building gardens we grow and how you can be a supporter today!
