“Where flowers bloom, so does hope.”
U.S. First Lady, Lady Bird Johnson
Welcome to The Field,
Botany & Co’s urban flower farm in the heart of the Near Northwest Neighborhood in South Bend, across the street from The Botany Shop & The Lot Next Door.
Flowers for Good
Flowers hold incredible power.
They remind us we’re connected while helping us connect: both to one another, and to the natural world. They inspire creativity, calm, and community.
In this spirit, we’re teaming up with New Day South Bend, a local 501(c) organization on a mission to provide dignified housing and support services to persons experiencing chronic homelessness while accompanying guests as they transition to long-term, stable housing.
10% of all Flower Subscriptions will be donated to New Day’s Art Workshop, a site-specific art workshop organized by artist and staff member M.T. Giddings with the “guests” of New Days Motels 4 Now program.
The goals of the Art Workshop are multifaceted:
To positively impact the guests’ experience at New Day, both aesthetically and socially
To help guests develop creative outlets that they can draw from for the rest of their lives
To tap into the abundant creativity of our guests to explore what is possible together
To positively impact local arts and homeless communities through meaningful exchange
To humanize and destigmatize homelessness
