First Bloom

“First Bloom is about the way that kids can connect with their parks around the cities and they could have fun and garden and plant and everything.”

–Jessica Douglas, Boys and Girls Clubs of Philadelphia, 4th grade

Our Partners

First Bloom benefits from expert partners like the National Park Service and the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, and with help from community organizations like the Boys & Girls Clubs, it gives kids in mostly underserved areas the chance to explore the national parks for the first time and to become actively involved in conservation.

ARAMARK, a professional services organization and leading concessionaire of parks, resorts and hospitality services, has helped secure a $1 million grant to the National Park Foundation as the initial and lead sponsor of First Bloom.
