VALUED CUSTOMERS & FRIENDS+

You’ve been here long enough to know we are more than plants, shovels, mulch and muscles. We are about saving the world – or at least repairing it where we can see a tear.

This month has revealed tears upon tears. We have big work ahead of us, don’t we LA? Yet, we know this too will break down like any other work. We take a good hard look at where we are. We design a plan to make it better. Then, we pick up our shovels and get it done.

At some point, we’ll look back at our beloved city the way we look back at any of our gardens – with pride that we did all we could make the world a more welcoming, beautiful place.

Stay safe. Be well. Take care of one another. We love you.

 
Sincerely,
Cassy and Kirk
