Women's Circle
Our inaugural program, enBloom’s Women’s Circle, launched in Crofton, MD in the summer of 2022. Each month women gather in person for intentional connection, & community. Discussions are loosely based on topics such as S.M.A.R.T. goal setting or protective summer hairstyles. This is a safe and open space for Black women to bring their authentic selves. Children are welcome and games and activities are provided for their self-directed fun. Led by Ciara.

Growers Market
Training gardeners and emerging farmers to grow hyper-local food through online and in-person training through partnerships with local non-profits, community colleges, and HBCUs. enBloom Growers Market is an innovative, community-based approach that lowers barriers to entry for beginning growers, provides affordable land access, increases locally grown food, and addresses health disparities. Pilot planning began in June 2022 for a summer 2023 launch. Led by Keiron.
