About Nehemiah Group

Southside Blooms, a project of the 501c3 nonprofit Chicago Eco House, was started as a love story by its founders Quilen and Hannah Blackwell. Quilen and Hannah were moved by their Christian faith to relocate to the inner city of Chicago to bring hope and healing to places that are plagued by violence and poverty. This passion for the inner city is what brought them together as a couple and laid the foundation for the work that we do today: creating jobs for vulnerable youth in the floral industry by growing and arranging sustainable flowers! Our blooms signify more than mere aesthetics – they symbolize a commitment to social impact, economic development, and environmental stewardship. Join us in this journey where every petal purchased contributes to a brighter, more sustainable future for our communities.
