Sending a giant thank you to the Macarthur Foundation! This longtime funder has made an undeniable impact in supporting the work we do here. Recently, a volunteer group came out to help clear 10 cold frame flower beds, moved over 200 plants to their shady summer homes, and repotted 4 plants, including a giant pelican flower.
