Welcome to Bloomers! Island,

the Virtual World for Kids

A long time ago, before trucks and cars and big machines, a place was born where natural things came to life. In this place plants learned to pick up their roots and move to better soil, more water and brighter sunlight. Soon the plants and trees learned to talk like you and I. They learned to read and write. But more importantly they learned how to make friends. This magical place is called Bloomers! Island and the fun-loving flowers, plants and tress that live there are called Bloomers!

On Bloomers! Island the sun shines brightly, trees smile and fun-loving blooming flowers and vegetables play, discover new adventures, and learn how to grow tall and wise. Bloomers! Island is located somewhere in the Pacific Ocean on an island so remote that no human has ever set eyes on it, until now.

Queen Palm of Bloomers! Island is giving participating schools, children and parents exclusive access to visit this hidden paradise and join in on the Island fun. All you have to do is log onto www.bloomersisland.com and become a member by registering your free 6-month Bloomers! Island membership code. Experience the Bloomers! Island magic and fun as you become a virtual Bloomer! and go on your very own quest (just like the one the Bloomers! go on). Bring the Bloomers! real-life game of gardening to life, in a compelling virtual playground environment.

Why Bloomers! Island?

For many children, the virtual world has become a more familiar setting than the natural one because children are spending less and less time playing outdoors and children are growing up without developing a personal connection with nature. We wanted to create a virtual world where children could explore and interact with a diverse range of natural environments from a single online platform.

We designed an entire online world and interactive nature-based playground just for kids! We designed it so children can engage in rich and interactive game-play compelling children to explore, play, learn and interact with natural world around them in relevant and fun ways.

We also designed an entire cast of fun-loving, walking, talking and animated Bloomers! garden friends and family to help capture the spirit of mother nature and bring the magic to life for young children. Children can interact with their favorite Bloomers! garden characters and go on adventures together to explore the different Island environments.

If children develop a relationship with nature online, we believe they will be more inspired to explore nature offline.
