"We are using balsam and white pine so both of those are products that are sustainably sourced and then we make them in house," said Southside Blooms Events Manager Natalie Ransom. "We mix the two greens together and we also make our own bows.""All of our wreaths are made by our youth so each wreath that's purchased really gives us the opportunity to hire more youth," said Ransom.
Johnson has learned to expertly clip the pine branches, assemble shape and prune the wreaths. And in his short time with the shop he's also learned about sustainability and farming.Deonta White, 27, has worked at Southside Blooms for two years. A lifelong Englewood resident, White said he also sees how his role is helping change the picture of his community.
