WE ARE BLOOMHAVEN

Bloomhaven is entirely volunteer led. In real life, we are florists and wedding planners. We are stay-at-home moms and flower farmers. We are swim teachers, venue managers, make-up artists, home stagers, chefs, and marketing gurus.

We are bloom warriors.

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.

What began as a work-study program led by Sara Skinner of Scarlet & Co for 10 teens in November 2024 has quickly blossomed into an initiative serving hundreds of children in group homes across the Lowcountry. In our very first year we have provided job training and floral art therapy classes for more than 300 children ages 6 through 21 years old. And we’re just getting started!
