Roots of Renewal Join Us and Plant Even More Trees!

Through our partnership with Eden Reforestation Projects, we plant one mangrove tree in Kenya for every shirt purchased. Our "One Shirt. One Tree. One Hundred Years of Impact" initiative extends our garden's impact far beyond our backyards.

Mangroves are environmental powerhouses that sequester up to four times more carbon than rainforest trees. They also provide critical wildlife habitat, prevent coastal erosion, and support local communities through sustainable employment.

Growing a Legacy: Your Environmental Investment

Eden Reforestation Projects takes a multi-pronged approach that ensures your contribution creates lasting change:

Protected Growing Spaces: They collaborate with local governments to secure permanent protection for restoration sites, like creating a dedicated garden sanctuary.

Community Stewardship: Hiring local communities fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility for the trees' well-being, similar to community gardens.

Sustainable Growing Practices: Planting techniques provide long-term resilience and reduce reliance on deforestation, just as permaculture principles create self-sustaining gardens.

Garden Guardians: Dedicated forest guards actively protect the restored forests, ensuring seedlings grow into mature trees.

Ongoing Nourishment: The Forest Guard Endowment Fund provides continuing resources for forest protection, like a garden trust that ensures care for generations.

Cultivating Change: Smart Planting Practices

Transparency in growing practices is key! Here's how Eden Reforestation Projects cultivates efficiently:

Heritage Seed Sourcing: They collect seeds from existing forests and purchase them in bulk from local sources, similar to seed saving in home gardens.

Natural Irrigation Systems: Many trees planted are mangroves, which grow along coastlines with natural water systems, requiring no additional irrigation.

Local Gardeners: Hiring local communities for planting creates economic incentives for them to protect the newly restored forests, just as local knowledge improves garden success.

Resource-Wise Methods: Fair wages and efficient planting processes contribute to lower overall costs, maximizing the impact of every dollar.

Transparency in Our Global Garden: Verification You Can Trust

Absolutely! We receive verification of tree plantings monthly from Eden Reforestation Projects, which we share on our dedicated Tree Planting Ledger page. There, you can see the running total of trees funded through our Roots of Renewal Project, allowing you to witness your contribution to our global garden growing over time. This transparency ensures you can trust that your purchase is truly making the environmental impact we promise.

Absolutely! Through our Roots of Renewal Project, you can add extra tree plantings to any order for just $2.00 each. This allows you to extend garden sanctuaries for wildlife, support natural shoreline protection, nurture community communion with the land, and enhance nature's filtration systems—all while deepening your connection to the earth.
