Together We Bloom: Growing Flowers That Give Back
It is important to us that we grow flowers that give back to the community.
New in 2023, we will be donating 5% of our profits from flower sales to local nonprofits.
This year, we will be donating to the original stewards of the land where Together We Bloom is located-to the Ute, Goshute, and Shoshone tribes.
That 5% will be distributed evenly amongst these tribes as payment of ‘rent’ for living on and profiting off of their stolen land.
We recognize our impact alone is small, but together our impact can be meaningful.
Please read more about the nonprofits below and consider donating yourself:
The Ute Land Trust:
“Dedicated to the conservation and protection of Ute Land.
The Ute Land Trust (ULT) was established in 2018 by the Business Committee of the Ute Indian Tribe to assist in the healing of the deep wounds left by the injustice of the violent removal of the Ute Indian Tribe from ancestral lands in Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. The hope is that ULT will reconnect the people of these lands by engaging with other tribes, federal, state, and local governments to partner in land stewardship and traditional conservation efforts.”

Great Basin Water Network: Save The Swamp Cedars
“There is a place in the Great Basin known as Bahsahwahbee, “The Sacred Water Valley.” For countless generations, the springs there gave life to ceremonies, celebrations, and healings in the valley –– and still do to this day. Between 1850 and 1900, Bahsahwahbee was the site of three massacres by the US Army and vigilantes that resulted in a greater death toll than that of Wounded Knee.
Indigenous communities believe that the Swamp Cedar trees (Rocky Mountain Juniper) growing at the site hold the souls of native people who were massacred. The Goshute and Shoshone people continue to visit this site to pray, heal, and remember.”
