Chicago's Southside Blooms figured out a way to grow 18,000 tulips in a basement garden ahead of Valentine's Day this year.An Englewood neighborhood flower shop is trying to start a new Valentine's Day tradition."You gotta use what you got, we're a small organization," said Quilen Blackwell, president and co-founder of Southside Blooms. "We're able to grow 18,000 tulips in our basement over the course of three months so that's pretty amazing.
"We're fully vertically integrated, we grow our own flowers, we design our own flowers and we deliver our own flowers," said Blackwell. "So our youth, you come in here, you can learn about floral design, you can learn about farming, you can learn about sales, customers service. After a lot of research and science they figured out a way to speed the growing process to just less than three months. And they save energy through solar power.
Some people might find roses more appropriate than tulips for Valentine's Day but Southside Blooms hopes you'll think outside of the box this year.
