Who we are

Enhance, expand and diversify the flower plantings in the green spaces of Petworth

Public spaces that offer beauty, wonder, and foster connections to the people and places that make up Petworth

Steven Feingold - Founder/Exec Director

Steven has a lifelong passion for gardening that a rowhouse yard is not large enough to contain. He has lived in Petworth since 2013 and has been a Weed Warrior at Fort Totten Park and organized Casey Trees plantings at Fort Totten and Grant and Sherman Circles. He has been a park partner with DPR since 2016 . This work led him to start Petworth Blooms in 2018
Hannah Martin - Co-Founder

Hannah encouraged Steven to start Petworth Blooms after his public gardening expanded significantly beyond their block. Despite being the daughter and wife of avid gardeners, Hannah’s relationship with outdoor plants is best described as an appreciative observer. She brings 5 years of non-profit board management and many years of volunteer management experience to Petworth Blooms.
