Thank you everyone who came out today or supported us in our warm-up planting project, and to Margaret for the donuts and the wonderful plants!
I think it looks beautiful, and as Julian said, “I think those plants are giving love to the big old trees that are there and they are loving them back, and the big cycle of love is going all over the world.”
