Grow like a wild flower
Rough - Tough - Vibrant

Our mission
Our mission is to create vibrant wildflower gardens in schools, inspiring students to beautify their surroundings, develop a deeper appreciation for their school, and cultivate a lasting connection with nature.
How we work
Our goal is to establish wildflower gardens in schools while engaging parent teacher organizations, and student organizations, such as plant clubs, in the process. We will provide funding and guidance for essential supplies, including wildflower seeds, soil, garden lining, and tools. After planting, we will follow up to monitor the gardens' growth and assess any maintenance needs.
Our Journey
When I was about to graduate from elementary school, my dad asked me if there was anything I wanted to do for the school as a parting gift. The school had a few flower beds in the front which were damaged. After some time, I proposed the idea to fix the beds and plant wildflower seeds, because we had planted them at home and they were beautiful. Thanks to the approval from the vice principal, we got the opportunity to plant the seeds. The wildflowers bloomed quite beautifully (as evident in the picture).
Later on in the sixth grade we were again able to plant wildflower gardens in the middle school. And recently, we planted a wildflower garden in my cousins high school during our winter break travel to California. I sincerely appreciate the approval and support of both principals.

are the seeds you plant today.”
