Gardens Provide Opportunities
Seeds planted in rich soil and cultivated with care stand the best chance to yield a good harvest and blossom.
The Seed
Blossom started as seeds in the gardens of Quest Training Center - Orlando as a vocational and skills development opportunity for the people receiving services there. Quest, Inc. provides a range of services for individuals diagnosed with developmental disabilities at their training centers, and Blossom provides the perfect opportunity for meaningful work, skills training and the ability to generate income. Quest combines entrepreneurial innovation with Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to create a pathway for individuals to succeed at a business they helped create.
Our Story
Our team first began by growing herbs as an organic bug repellant. We ended up with an overabundance of herbs, which gave us an opportunity to innovate. The team proposed drying the herbs and then incorporating them as the ingredients of a handmade artisanal soap line - hence the birth of Blossom. Blossom launched in 2018 as a Mother’s Day gift. Since then, the Blossom line has grown and expanded into candles, body balms, as well as other home and stationary products, while also providing meaningful employment opportunities for the individuals we serve.
