“More than just flowers — we’re growing futures. 🌱”

At Southside Blooms, every bouquet tells a story — one of hope, hard work, and transformation. 💐 From planting seeds in reclaimed lots to creating stunning arrangements, our youth are learning sustainable farming, floristry, and entrepreneurship along the way.

Each bloom supports something bigger:
✨ Green jobs for local youth
🌿 Cleaner, greener neighborhoods
💪 Empowered young changemakers

When you choose Southside Blooms, you’re not just buying flowers — you’re investing in the future of Chicago’s South Side. 💛

🌿 Southside Blooms is more than flowers — it’s a movement growing right here on the South Side of Chicago. 💐

We turn vacant lots into flower farms 🌸— giving youth the chance to learn, create, and dream big. What starts with a seed becomes so much more: confidence, purpose, and beauty that uplifts entire neighborhoods. 🌻

This is love in action. This is art that inspires. This is community reborn.
💚 Every bouquet tells a story — of resilience, hope, and transformation.

Quilen Blackwell draws on the Wisconsin Idea to turn vacant lots into flowers and then to turn flowers into an economic engine.

{A note from Hannah to Quilen on Father’s Day}

Quilen,
When I see how much our children adore you, and how they are flourishing because of your unwavering dedication to them, I know that choosing you to be their father was the best gift I could ever give them. In you they have a shining example of faith, strength, humility, purpose and love.

Your father’s heart extends well beyond our family, as I see you strive every day for the children of the hood. Thank you for all you to for us and for them, I am forever grateful 🫶🏻

Love, Hannah

{Happy Father’s Day to all of the dads and dad-figures out there making a big difference in kid’s lives! We appreciate you!}
