PLANTING HOPE
The Planting Hope Project was established in honor of our beloved founder, Kathryn Pufahl.
Our mission is to donate 100% of the proceeds from the sale of one intentional plant to an organization that aligns with our values. This year, we are proud to donate the proceeds from the sale of Salvia patens ‘East of Adi’ to the Make-A-Wish Foundation in memory of Richard “Rich” Stephenson. Rich is the father of our longtime team member, Heather Stephenson, and the grandfather of her children, East and Adi.
A cherished member of the North Fork community, Rich passed away suddenly in September 2024. His warm spirit, generosity, and sense of adventure will be forever remembered by all who knew him.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation embodies Rich’s values of community care, playfulness, and adventure. The foundation gave support to Rich’s beloved nephew, Thomas Donaldson, and provided him with a wonderful and unforgettable adventure while facing an incomprehensible childhood terminal illness. Please consider donating today to help grant life changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
