About
IN 2018 URBAN BLOOMS CONTINUED OUR GROW CINCINNATI PROGRAM, BUILDING LARGE PUBLIC LIVING WALLS IN THE HEARTS OF NEIGHBORHOODS THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF CINCINNATI. WITH GENEROUS SUPPORT FROM THE GREATER CINCINNATI FOUNDATION, URBAN BLOOMS IS ABLE TO PROVIDE MATCHING FUNDS TO COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS THROUGH A COMPETITIVE ONLINE APPLICATION. THIS PROVIDES THE CONSTRUCTION OF PUBLIC LIVING WORKS OF ART THAT CREATE MORE SUSTAINABLE AND VIBRANT NEIGHBORHOODS, AT A PRICE THAT IS AFFORDABLE. IN 2018 WE CONSTRUCTED ONE PUBLIC LIVING WALL AS A PART OF THE GROW PROGRAM ON SHORT VINE IN CORYVILLE. THIS INSTALLATION HAS THRIVED SINCE BEING INSTALLED AND CREATES A BEAUTIFUL POCKET PARK FOR STUDENTS AND LOCAL BUSINESSES TO ENJOY. IN ADDITION, WE WERE AWARDED ANOTHER GRANT TO CONTINUE THE GROW CINCINNATI PROGRAM THROUGH 2019. CURRENTLY NEIGHBORHOODS ARE BEING EVALUATED FOR OUR NEXT PUBLIC LIVING WALL. WE COMPLETED ANOTHER NOTEWORTHY PUBLIC INSTALLATION IN COVINGTON KY, A LARGE LIVING WALL THAT IS INTEGRATED INTO AN EVEN LARGER MURAL ABOVE, A COLLABORATION WITH WORLD FAMOUS ARTISTS, THE LONDON POLICE. URBAN BLOOMS HAS BUILT OVER 36 LIVING WALLS AROUND THE MIDWEST TO BRING NATURE INTO WORKING AND RECREATIONAL ENVIRONMENTS, NOT ONLY CREATING MORE BEAUTIFUL AND HEALTHY SPACES, BUT ALSO MORE SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES.
