As we conclude our 15th Anniversary "12 Days of Giving," we celebrate our legacy of building icons of sustainability — transformative public spaces that heal the soil and the soul. We are thrilled to share a recent victory: Following community engagement, project development, and fundraising, we successfully completed Hotchkiss Green in less than a year! This monumental project stands as a testament to the power of our public-private collaboration. Now, we're looking to the future! Our next great collaboration is with the City of Richmond on the revitalization of Mayo's Island, promising to be another landmark project for Richmond. @rvagovernment Your gift of $2,000 can help support the momentum of these transformative projects, ensuring we continue to lead, inspire, and collaborate for the next 15 years.
