Our Story

Our Process

How do we fulfill our mission? It takes the help and support of our entire community.

We Build

Located at the mouth of the beautiful Cowiche Canyon, what started as a few garden rows has grown into a community effort, powered by volunteers and local supporters.
We Grow

We begin with the soil. Seeds are planted in rhythm with Yakima Valley seasons. Volunteers tend each stage of growth until every bloom is ready to be shared.
We Share

Volunteers bring dedication and heart. They sow seeds, harvest blooms, wash buckets, trim stems, and carefully store flowers. Each step ensures every bouquet is fresh and lovingly prepared.
We Create

Flowers are gathered and arranged with purpose. Volunteers turn stems into bouquets that leave our farm ready to brighten days and bring moments of connection to patients.
We Give

The gift of flowers carries meaning beyond beauty. For patients, each bouquet signals care, community, and hope - a reminder that they are valued and appreciated.
We Sell

At local farmers markets, our flowers find new homes. Bouquets connect neighbors with our mission, raising support. Each purchase helps deliver comfort and kindness to patients.

Thank You for Making 2025 Possible

As we look back on 2025, what stands out most to us are the ordinary moments that made this year possible.

Canyon Blooms exists because people are willing to give their time in very real ways. Showing up early to plant when the mornings are still cold. Staying late to finish arrangements so deliveries can go out on time. Loading buckets into cars, tying ribbons at kitchen tables, and driving flowers across the Yakima Valley to places where a familiar face and a few minutes of conversation matter just as much as the bouquet itself.

Because of your support, we continued delivering flowers to hospice programs, long-term care and memory care communities, shelters, and senior housing throughout the year. We have seen how these deliveries land. A room softens. A caregiver pauses. A resident shares a story. These are small exchanges, but they carry weight, especially on days that are otherwise routine or difficult.

Our volunteers are the steady thread running through all of this work. They plant, harvest, arrange, and deliver with care and consistency, often behind the scenes and always with intention. Our donors make it possible for us to plan responsibly, maintain the farm, and ensure that this work can continue season after season. Our partner organizations welcome us in and help guide where flowers are needed most, trusting us to show up with respect and care.

This work is built through shared effort. It depends on people doing practical, sometimes unglamorous tasks because they understand the value of showing up for others. We are deeply grateful for every hour volunteered, every donation given, and every small decision made in support of Canyon Blooms this year.

As we move into the next growing season, we carry these moments with us. Thank you for being part of this work and for continuing to grow something meaningful alongside us.

With sincere appreciation,

The Canyon Blooms Team
