Happy Earth Day! 🌎 What once held paperwork is now growing possibility!

At PI & PCRC, we’re giving filing cabinets a second life as raised garden beds by launching a hands-on gardening curriculum. Through this program, our consumers are building life skills, exploring nature, and experiencing the joy of growing their own food. We’re also creating a sensory garden (engaging smell, touch, taste, and sight) so every participant can connect with the garden in a way that’s meaningful to them. This is just the beginning of a larger project we’re incredibly excited to grow, and we can’t wait to see where it leads.

A special thank you to Lowe's Home Improvement, Roses discount store, and Landscape Supply & Equipment Rentals for donating supplies and helping make this vision possible.

Happy Earth Day 🌎
