Garden Layout Design + Curriculum Outline.
Client
City Blossoms is a DC-based nonprofit that cultivates community well-being through creative programming in kid-driven gardens. Its in-house resources and youth-led frameworks are exemplary, but staff attention stays where it belongs, on core programs, which leaves little room to extend those models outward.
Peak Bloom worked with City Blossoms on two projects that elevated existing programs and widened their partnership portfolio. Working alongside youth participants and staff, Peak Bloom first designed the curriculum outline for their Youth Entrepreneurship Manual. Peak Bloom then supported City Blossoms' collaboration with Georgetown University Hospital, designing a layout to convert an unused green space into a learning garden for adolescents in an in-patient program.
City Blossoms' program materials and youth-centered practices are now accessible through the Youth Entrepreneurship Manual as an online resource, and carried into the design of their first youth-centered green space being developed with a university partner.
