We loved visiting Galego Garden last week with some of the Bloom Rhode Island network. So joyful! What late summer joy have local gardens brought you? youtu.be/gqZorshE9pc?...

We love this! Where are some hidden green spots in your neighborhood that also help cut down on cars?

Oh The Urbanity!@ohtheurbanity.bsky.social · 2mo ago

There’s a lot of space for greenery on our streets if you just reallocate a bit from cars.

Bloom Rhode Island donated 388,040 crocus bulbs and corms in the last two years, and they are coming out in a city neighborhood near you! Our friends at Providence Parks and Providence Community Libraries more planted them, so you can enjoy them. Share your favorite #hopesprings photo with us! 🌼🌿

We love to see it! To check out some bulbs our partners planted last year, check out the Bloom Rhode Island locator map for Google Maps and share what you find! bit.ly/HopeSpringsL...

Hey Bluesky, sorry it has been a while, but we have been busy helping people with their planting projects. Check out some of them here!

Helped install planters on N Main St right before Olney St. in Providence, RI. These help keep cars from driving illegally, making it safer for everyone on the street.

This is so exciting! Congrats to Councilor AnderBois and the @pvdstreets.bsky.social team for bringing joy...and traffic calming...to North Main Street in Providence.
