About Us
A Ministry Rooted in Faith, Community, and Care
Second Bloom Ministries exists to bring beauty, hope, and encouragement to those who need it most, reminding every heart that they are seen, valued, and deeply loved by God. Inspired by Isaiah 40:8:
​
"The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever."
​
Through repurposing event flowers into meaningful arrangements, we share God’s love in tangible ways — one bouquet at a time.
Our Story
Hi! I’m Rachel Foster, and I believe a little kindness (and a lot of flowers) can brighten anyone’s day.
​
The story of this ministry began with my own wedding in May of 2025. Flowers and plants have always been a meaningful part of my life, so when it came to our wedding, I knew I wanted real flowers, even if it meant spending a little more than we anticipated (some of the flowers are pictured above). We paid a fee for both delivery and pickup, and during a conversation about that fee, our florist mentioned that the cost would remain the same even if they did not have to pick up the flowers afterward.
​
But my dad felt strongly that something more meaningful should be done.
​
Instead of letting them go to waste, he took the flowers home after the wedding. He and my step-mom spent time breaking them down into small bouquets and delivering them to others. While we were on our honeymoon, we received this message:
​
“We are in the middle of delivering the flowers to lots of shut-ins, old folks, and to the group home of disabled teens and adults. Take joy that your love and flowers are bringing so many people joy, smiles, and tears of happiness this morning.”
​
That text could not have made us happier.
​
Later on, I realized — this could be so much more than just a one-time gesture. These flowers could be a way of ministering to people. A way of meeting them right where they are, just like Jesus did. A simple bouquet can become an invitation to foster relationships and ongoing ministry.
​
What started as a small act of kindness after our wedding grew into a ministry with a simple purpose: to share God’s love and bring moments of joy and hope to those who need it most.
