The first two dozen Hope in Bloom gardens were planted in 2007. Since then dedicated volunteers have transformed 175 spaces into colorful gardens. Hundreds of miles have been driven, countless gallons of water consumed and many new friends made at each installation. Hope in Bloom sends a high five to everyone who joined our team. We would not have been able to change the landscape for so many people without your help. Thank you one and all.

We are especially grateful to Chris Kennedy of Kennedy's Country Gardens of Scituate. He has made our program one of his missions and donated seven gardens to South Shore recipients.
