The Bloomhaven Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit work-study program headquartered in Charleston, SC. We are leading the way in creating job opportunities for teens living in group care and foster homes as they prepare to leave care through an immersive, hands-on floral design program. 

At Bloomhaven, we believe floral design can be a tool for healing, confidence, and connection. It’s not about perfection — it’s about the process and what it unlocks in each student.

Beyond the beauty of the arrangements, programs like this offer real, tangible skills — opening the door for students to one day step into the world of floral design, weddings, and creative entrepreneurship when they’re ready to spread their wings. Youth leaving foster care face disproportionately high rates of unemployment, educational setbacks, and homelessness. We are actively changing this narrative by preparing our 110 students (and growing) for careers in the event industry, offering job placements, housing opportunities, and ongoing mentorship and community support for our graduates.

The Bloomhaven Foundation strives to provide a safe place for foster youth to blossom and thrive through the healing power of flowers. Together, we are cultivating futures — one heart, one bloom, one breakthrough at a time.
