🌱 Baby plant donations needed! 🌱

The Plant Adoption Center has already sent 60+ plants to new homes, and we’re restocking for the Su***de Prevention Walk on September 13!

If you have spider plant babies, cuttings, or other little plants to spare, I’d love to have them by September 10 so I can get everyone named and give them their very important personalities! They don’t have to be fully rooted or potted... I can work with them!

And if you want to name your donated plant and give it a funny personality or special talent yourself, even better. 🌿💛

Such a beautiful day at ACR Health’s Overdose Awareness event. The Kindness in Bloom Project got so much wonderful feedback, every single plant found a home, and the donated bracelets and little goodies were a huge hit too.

The project is all set up at the overdose awareness event on the square.

What a beautiful night at the Block Party! The project was set up, a little chalk kindness made its way onto the sidewalks, and people stopped to write cards for others. But one of my favorite parts was getting to close up a little early and just enjoy it all..walking around, talking with people, watching the kids dance, bubbles floating everywhere, and seeing our community simply having fun together.

Days like this are such a good reminder that community can be really simple..showing up, sharing a little joy, and being part of something together. So grateful I got to be there!!

Such a thoughtful donation from Liz (Marty N Liz Cumoletti). She made all of these handmade pieces for the upcoming Overdose Awareness and Su***de Prevention events, and I’ll be bringing a mix along with the Bloom Station to each.

A little exciting news from Kindness in Bloom. I’ll be speaking at Elevate Summit 2026 this November and leading a workshop called Finding Your Way Back: Healing, Connection, and Reclaiming Yourself.

So much of Kindness in Bloom has always been about connection, feeling seen, and reminding people that small things can matter in really big ways. I’m excited to bring some of that heart into this workshop and share space with so many incredible women.

If you’d like to learn more about the weekend or join us, you can find all the details and ticket information at developingwithdevan.com/elevatesummit
