Become a Host
Gardens are meant to be admired and enjoyed - not just by you, but now, safely and securely by others through Bloomvy.
A Community of Exceptional Gardens
Bloomvy hosts range from private garden owners and boutique flower farmers to a National Historic Landmark. Our network includes a floral artist and published author, as well as a host whose self-designed garden was showcased in Garden Gate Magazine.
Why Host with Bloomvy?
-
Passive income. Maintaining an outdoor space takes effort and resources. Offset those costs by earning extra income to preserve and enhance your garden, or donate your booking proceeds to your favorite garden club.
-
Effortless hosting. Our platform is free to list and easy to use. Communicate directly with guests if needed. There’s no obligation to meet in person - unless you’d like to personally host a garden tour!
-
Manage bookings on your terms. You have control over booking availability, number of guests allowed, guest activities, and property rules. You have final approval on booking requests.
-
Safety. All guests are required to agree to our terms of service and waiver and release before visiting. Credit card prepayment is required before booking.
"Opening our property to guests through Bloomvy was seamless and delightful. Hosting a group of fellow plant lovers who truly appreciated our garden was a wonderful experience.
I'd recommend Bloomvy to any private garden owner open to sharing their space."
- Dean Y.
Turn Your Garden into a Force for Good
Share your space and support a cause that matters to you.
Host for income, a cause, or both. Bloomvy sends direct payouts straight to you, so you can independently donate any portion to your favorite non-profit, garden club, charity, or conservation fund. If you plan to contribute your proceeds from hosting, you can activate the Community Impact display on your listing to highlight your mission.
Host Memorable Experiences
People have been drawn to beautiful outdoor spaces for thousands of years. The desire for genuine outdoor experiences is stronger than ever. What will guests discover in your space?
Photo Sessions
A picture perfect setting. Every year, millions of professional photo sessions take place across the U.S., as families and individuals look to capture life’s special moments - portraits, engagements, weddings, maternity shoots, graduations, anniversaries, holiday cards, and more. There is a rising demand for high end photography - nearly 40% of families are spending $1,000 or more on their sessions. Gardens are an ideal backdrop and offer natural light, color, layered textures and diverse scenery for stunning photos.
Garden Tours
Inspire fellow garden enthusiasts. Gardens are ever-changing, with something beautiful to offer in every season. Welcome guests to experience your garden throughout the year. Garden tours attract visitors seeking design inspiration, landscaping ideas, plant discoveries, and sustainable gardening practices. Share your passion and connect with the gardening community beyond a single annual tour.
Botanical Retreat
A tranquil escape. Wellness and nature-based experiences are more popular than ever. A quiet garden provides the perfect setting to relax and recharge. Your space can become a sanctuary for mindfulness sessions, yoga, reflection, reading, plein air painting, or simply reconnecting with nature.
Gatherings
A unique place for get togethers. Your outdoor space can create a memorable atmosphere that brings people together, whether for small celebrations or gatherings such as club meetings, workshops, or community meetups. It offers a refreshing alternative to traditional venues.
Professional Showcase
Showcase your expertise. If you're a garden design expert or landscaping professional, Bloomvy offers the perfect platform to attract and connect with potential clients. Use Bloomvy to provide a firsthand experience of your expertise and turn your garden into a living portfolio that sets you apart.
Consulting
Share your knowledge. Offer guidance to help others reach their gardening goals, from design and plant selection to pest management, harvesting, sustainable techniques, and more. Host sessions in person or virtually.
