The Giving Garden on Earth Day

On April 20, 2024, our volunteers donated more than a thousand seedlings for this earth day event in Cupertino California. We are particularly proud of the seedlings our volunteers provided. These plants are more than just a gesture towards greener living; they represent a step forward in promoting a healthier environment and a more robust ecosystem. By choosing to grow these organic flowers and vegetables, we avoid harmful chemicals and support earth-based organisms, birds, and insects that rely on these plants for their survival.
