I came across this ‘it is well with my soul’ mug while at a wellness retreat. I HAD to have it, and thought it’d be the perfect product to share with y’all… The perfect companion for your favorite beverage at home, at work, and at peace -
reminding you to embrace the good vibes and cherish every moment.

Succulents For Scholars:

At BLOOM, we believe in the power of symbolism and the impact of thoughtful gifts. That’s why we are proud to present “Succulents for Scholars,” a new service aimed at encouraging students with a meaningful and enduring gift that represents their journey through the academic year.
Succulents are remarkable plants. In addition to cleaning the air and producing oxygen, studies have shown that these type of indoor plants can improve mood and boost productivity, concentration, and creativity. They can store water in their leaves, stems, and roots, allowing them to survive and flourish in environments where other plants might struggle. These qualities are akin to the perseverance and determination students exhibit throughout their education. By gifting a succulent, you’re providing students a visual and living reminder of their potential to overcome obstacles and thrive no matter the challenges they face resulting in their success.
We encourage schools, parents, and community organizations to consider buying succulents in bulk for their students.

“Succulents for Scholars” is an excellent way to motivate and inspire students. Join us in celebrating the enduring spirit of our scholars by gifting them a succulent that symbolizes their strength and potential.

At BLOOM, we welcome and share our space to all as evident by our events. Read on for an exclusive recap from one of our most recent.

On July 11th, BLOOM welcomed the students of Hamden's Youth Entrepreneur summer enrichment initiative program, founded and led by Dr. Laquita Joyner-McGraw. Entrepreneurs as young as 11 years old joined us to learn about culture at BLOOM and what it means to start, maintain, and own a successful business.

The flagship summer enrichment initiative is a five week experience that takes 20 middle and high school students through coursework and real life experiences.

Youth Entrepreneurs is a nonprofit organization that hosts hands-on programs with the focus on preparing "Generation Genius".

We are so grateful that Dr. Joyner-McGraw chose BLOOM to engage the Entrepreneurs with. CommUNITY is a foundational piece of BLOOM and we are grateful to extend that courtesy to the Hamden-New Haven circle.

A big thank you to Dr. Joyner-McGraw and the rest of the YE counselors!
