U City in Bloom |
U City in Bloom is a volunteer not-for-profit organization that plants and maintains over 200 flower gardens throughout University City. Started in 1985 by three citizens, U City in Bloom now has over 200 volunteers and a staff of several part-time professional gardeners. Our gardens are located all over University City... in the Civic Plaza, The Loop, at all of our schools, in parks, along major streets, and in quiet neighborhoods all over our city.
We do ecologically sound gardening, avoiding pesticides and herbicides. We recycle our garden waste and use U City municipal compost to enrich our beds. We use a variety of plants including many native perennials, shrubs, trees, grasses, and annuals.
