To benefit A Project of the Tucson Trails Tribute Fund

There have always been a variety of FUN summer time traditions for May Day.  Sadly one of them, the practice of giving a plant or basket of flowers to your neighbor, has faded over time.  So we decided that this year we would Revive the Giving of the Green Tradition!

Why?   Because scientific studies show the importance of human interaction with nature and how greening our surroundings plays a critical role in human health and social functioning of a community.  Much like eating greens provides essential nutrients to our bodies so does being around green living things. Healthcare professionals coined the term “Vitamin G” – for vitamin Green – and suggest that it should be provided in regular doses.  Among its many benefits, Vitamin Green lowers stress levels, improves immune functioning and supports mental health and well-being.

AND… of course, because we need to raise some money!

So we hope you can help by dropping by anytime…
