“One of my favorite things about being a part of the Home Hardware and Tree Canada Partnership for over 10 years is passing on my passion for tree planting to younger generations, including my son. Working with young people to share this stewardship perspective and leave an indelible mark on our community for generations to come. It still excites me.In 2015, we planted 50 fruit trees in a local garden, one of our largest to date.We were inspired by the efforts of our local community garden who donated a lot of fruits and vegetables to the food bank and I thought fresh fruit would be a great way to help in this contribution . »
