“Taproot Collective has helped me with my community garden. They don’t donate and leave; they stay in contact, making sure I’m okay. Your donations will be well spent. Thank you for your support,” - Ingrid Phillip, Hidden Paradise Garden.

Christina Krewson from the Gandhi Community Garden said, “We've been really impacted positively by material distribution, so Taproot does a lot of really generous giveaways. So seeds, compost, guides, all those sorts of things have been great.”
