Community Garden

HI THERE!

Thanks for visiting!  Charity Blooms was founded in 2017 by 3 friends who wanted to help others by starting a non-profit farm.  Today, we manage multiple properties across Aurora.  Our goal  is to provide free, fresh produce to our community.  We have no paid staff or experience in agriculture.  Just a passion for helping others.
