This week, Bloom marked its 10th anniversary surrounded by many of the customers, partners, colleagues, and friends who helped us reach this milestone.
What began with a $75 delivery to a local church has grown into nearly 750 customers and more than 400,000 tons of Bloom sold, helping to grow healthier crops, greener lawns, and more resilient landscapes. In turn, Bloom has also saved DC Water millions of dollars, supporting Blue Drop’s mission to help reduce pressure on future water bills, while drastically reducing the utility’s carbon footprint.
We couldn’t have done it without YOU. Thank you for believing in Bloom, putting it to work, and helping us transform a material once destined for disposal into a valuable resource that benefits our region in countless ways.
Take a look back at the people, moments, and memories from our anniversary celebration.
