“Urban blooms' mission is to create more beautiful, sustainable, and healthier communities. This is accomplished through projects that both improve communities aesthetically and empower members of that community with sustainability education, primarily through our living wall (vertical garden) installations. These projects inspire onlookers and stretch the imagination through the elegant symbiosis of nature, art, and technology.”

“In 2019 urban blooms continued our grow cincinnati program, building large public living walls in the hearts of neighborhoods throughout the city of cincinnati. With generous support from the greater cincinnati foundation, urban blooms is able to provide matching funds to community organizations through a competitive online application. This provides the construction of public living works of art that create more sustainable and vibrant neighborhoods, at a price that is affordable. In 2019 we awarded one matching funds grant to the walnut hills redevelopment foundation for a public living wall as a part of the grow program. We are currently in the process of designing and planning the installation with the neighborhood, this process includes a series of community input sessions. Urban blooms has built over 40 living walls around the midwest to bring nature into working and recreational environments, not only creating more beautiful and healthy spaces, but also more sustainable communities.”
