Bloom Together Education Sessions

Bloom Together goes beyond beautification. It invites people to connect, contribute, and take pride in a shared space. Through seasonal planting, volunteer care, and hands-on learning in Citizens Alley, the program brings neighbors together to cultivate both the landscape and a sense of community. With support for materials, gatherings, and education, it fosters lasting engagement, ensuring the plaza remains a vibrant, welcoming place rooted in collective care.

Bloom Together benefits Minot and surrounding communities by bringing residents, families, service groups, and workplace teams together to care for a shared public space. Through seasonal planting, volunteer opportunities, and summer education sessions led by local growers and horticulturalists, participants gain hands-on knowledge while building connections with their neighbors and the space they help nurture. The program creates opportunities for learning, pride, and shared ownership, while enhancing the experience of everyone who visits Citizens Alley and supporting continued beautification efforts throughout downtown Minot.
