We’re Opening a Shop🎉

We are so excited to tell you that we are opening a real brick-and-mortar shop. This is a huge step for us, but definitely a logical and exciting one. At the beginning of this year Bloom were awarded an Unltd Award for social entrepreneurs and given the support to help us with this new venture. We are so grateful to them for their support and we can’t wait to get started.

Making Plans

For a few years now, we have been based in a studio in Meersbrook that is not open to the public. We would squirrel away up there, making flowers, answering emails and making plans happen. But, we always a little isolated from the community and there is nothing we love more than being in amongst it. This is why we treasure our community gardens so much and why we jump at the chance to have stalls at pop-up shops and markets. A store front has always been the dream and now it is becoming a reality.

Dreams Coming True

The space will be used as a workshop space and shop front where the lovely folks of Sheffield can buy beautiful local flowers and a selection of hand picked gifts and goodies made by local women. Just imagine, popping in to say hi and collecting a wrap of flowers that have been cut that morning from up the road. An ever-changing selection depending on season (and weather!) all grown, cut and arranged with care. We will be championing local makers and pairing our flowers with a selection of artisanal products, so we will be a one-stop-shop for gifts or treats just for you.

Help Us Flourish

Bloom is a not-for-profit organisation, which means we put any money we make right back into doing what we do. So when you buy a bouquet of flowers, book our florists for your wedding, or join our Patreon, you’re helping our garden — and the people tending it — to grow. This shop will exist to be a welcoming hub in the community and to help us raise vital funds for the therapeutic horticulture sessions we deliver at the garden. Every sale from our new little shop will be hugely beneficial to us and to the support we offer women.

The shop is on Chesterfield Road and hopefully will be open at the end of June. More details to follow soon. Now to get our paintbrushes at the ready!
