DIY Bouquet Day

In celebration of Pride and love, last Tuesday the Northern Region Rainbow Network partnered with Brendan and the Dig It! Gardens for a bouquet making event. Staff members, garden volunteers, and even family members came to learn how to make a bouquet. They used fresh flowers picked straight from our Dig It! community garden, arranged and wrapped them to take away and give to their loved ones. It was a great way to spend time together, learn from each other, and a chance to continue talks about diversity and inclusion. The day was once again a huge success with many people showing up to support pride and take part in this activity. Big thanks to Brendan for running the session, and for the mahi he does in the garden.
