Blessed Blooms, established in 2017, was born out of a passion to cultivate a wide range of exquisite flowers for Ghana’s thriving floral market. Our initial offerings included tuberose, Amazon lilies, solidago, aster, and roses. However, with the ever-increasing demand and the evolving market trends, we made a significant expansion. Today, Blessed Blooms proudly occupies a sprawling 7-acre farm in Akwatia Kwaso, nestled between Aburi and Koforidua in the Eastern region of Ghana. 

Stepping onto our farm is like entering a floral wonderland. The meticulously maintained greenhouses and expansive open fields are bursting with an extensive variety of flowers, all grown with care and love. Blessed Blooms caters to a discerning clientele, including event planners, wedding organizers, florists, and the public, all seeking the freshest and most vibrant blooms for their special occasions. 

What truly sets Blessed Blooms apart is our unwavering commitment to environmentally friendly practices. We are dedicated to reducing our carbon footprint and have embraced eco-conscious growing methods. By cultivating our own flowers instead of relying on imports, we actively contribute to cutting carbon emissions. Our forward-thinking approach includes the utilization of drip and fertigation systems, ensuring that plants receive precise amounts of water and nutrients while conserving resources. Moreover, Blessed Blooms has integrated solar energy systems into our operations, replacing fossil fuels and traditional electricity sources. 

The most important highlight of our journey as Blessed Blooms has been our selection as part of the GCIC (GHANA CLIMATE INNOVATION CENTRE) cohort 7 incubator. This invaluable opportunity has heightened our awareness of environmental issues and the urgent need to address climate change. Inspired by this experience, we have implemented various initiatives, such as recycling and reducing plastic usage on the farm. By embracing sustainable practices, we strive not only to excel in the floral market but also to become a beacon of environmental responsibility in Ghana and West Africa. 

Beyond our achievements in business and sustainability, Blessed Blooms recognizes the importance of personal growth. The gender classes offered through the GCIC program have been a source of inspiration and empowerment, benefiting both our business and personal lives. We have embraced the concept of “Me time,” fostering a healthier work-life balance and nurturing our mental health.
