The initial idea of the Bloom Garden originated from the desire to honor the eight colleagues who lost their lives on the Ethiopian Airlines ET 302 accident, in 2019. What was first thought of as a memorial garden, transformed into a living symbol of unity, and an open space for reflection and inspiration dedicated to all WFP’s people. “The Bloom Garden is dedicated to you and the generations before and after you” said David Beasley during the inauguration held in March 2020. “The women and men who make our incredible WFP family all that it is. I want this place to be a source of encouragement and inspiration for us all, somewhere where we can come to think, meditate, and reflect on what each one of us can do to make this world a better place.”
