Since 2009, we have donated over 165,000 seedlings and 6,500 wildflower packets to Ontario elementary students as a celebration of Earth Day.
This year we donated 18,000 seedlings and 1,500 wildflower packs to schools in Ontario - from Arthur to Napanee. In addition to our school seedling donations, we teamed up with Trees for Guelph - a wonderful charity that has a seasoned tree planter on their team! Every student in their program is taught how to properly plant their trees in a public space, so that their seedlings have the best chance of survival. This method allows us all to watch as their trees grow healthy and strong!
