Rooted & Rising, Second Annual Gala
From humble seeds, a community has bloomed.
What began as a simple vision to connect children and families with nature through hands-on learning has grown into a thriving community movement.
Rooted & Rising is more than a celebration of the past three years; it’s an invitation to help shape the future. Together, we’ve cultivated gardens, inspired young minds, built meaningful partnerships, and created spaces where children and families can learn, grow, and belong.
🌿 See Our Journey. Curious about who we are, where we started, and the impact we’ve made together?
Take a look at our presentation deck to see how a simple vision has grown into a community movement:
