Horticulture recently participated in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life in Palatine. Our "Floral Designers" made over 100 flower bouquets to pass out to cancer survivors and caregivers 💐 🌸 Little City had a table set up at the event to cheer these heroes on and share smiles through flowers. Our team was so touched by this event! A few of us even shared stories in remembrance of loved ones. Shout out to Bloom 'n Toss, Mariano's, and Jewel-Osco for helping us make this happen!

We had an incredible day at the Abilities Expo with the entire Center for Employment & Business Opportunities group!

Huge shoutout to the Abilities Expo operations team for their amazing support in planning our trip and ensuring a smooth registration process for everyone.
