Southside Blooms
Chicago, Illinois
Southside Blooms is a farm-to-vase florist on the Southside of Chicago, providing unique and fashion-forward arrangements, while maintaining an uncompromising dedication to both the environment and our surrounding communities. Flowers are grown in environments which actively work to sequester carbon, not just reduce emissions. Every flower purchased from Southside Blooms creates jobs for at-risk youth, converts vacant lots into safe and productive community assets, and actively contributes to the health and resilience of the environment through regenerative farming practices.
