Bloomhaven School of floralcraft & Artistry
introducing bloomhaven!
The Bloomhaven School of Floralcraft & Artistry is a work-study program designed for teens in foster care throughout the Lowcountry to learn floral design led by Sara Skinner. Students are immersed in a variety of flowers every week, gaining hands-on job experience working with Sara on real weddings, learning the fundamentals of balanced design, budgeting, and techniques essential to starting a career in the event industry when they leave care.
turning trash into treasure
Sadly about 90% of the flowers go straight into the garbage after weddings, but we’re changing that with Bloomhaven by using leftover flowers in classes every week! Students practice what they’re learning by refashioning leftovers into smaller arrangements which we donate to residents at the Daniel Pointe Retirement Community. We’re also gifted with fresh product from our friends at Charleston Wholesale Florist enabling the kids to learn how to handle and process flowers before events.
It’s a win all around!
