Members at the First Church of Samuel are working together to repair the earth and promote responsible stewardship through fostering natural spaces for pollinators in Tulsa, OK. This project is comprised entirely from donations of time and resources by members of the church and provides opportunities to engage with nature and with the community in our endeavors for spiritual healing as individuals and as a collective.
The Emanuel Synagogue Bloom Chaverim Garden is a community-driven initiative that fosters environmental education, sustainability, and connection. This garden will feature fruit trees, native plants, and pollinator-friendly flowers, creating a thriving habitat for monarchs, butterflies, and other wildlife.
Designed as a living classroom, the Bloom Chaverim Garden will provide hands-on learning opportunities for students and community members, teaching them about ecology, conservation, and the impact of caring for the land. It will also serve as a welcoming space where neighbors can gather, grow, and strengthen bonds through shared stewardship and gardening.
With support from local grants and community members, we hope to bring this vision to life—offering a sustainable, engaging space where children and families can connect with nature, celebrate community, and make a lasting impact on the environment.
Small but has alot of life.
