The Chicago Eco House works to alleviate inner city poverty by converting abandoned lots into sustainable flower farms and employing Chicago area youth to care for and sell those flowers at their shop – Southside Blooms. Chicago Eco House also offers STEM and basic business training.
Kalliopeia provided startup support for the “Prison to Flower Farm Pipeline” project, which is transforming four acres of land at the Cook County Jail so that youth awaiting trial can learn basic skills of regenerative flower-farming.
