Norfolk Botanical Garden, Inc. reposted this
In August, a team of volunteers from our corporate headquarters in Norfolk, Va., lent a helping hand to the Norfolk Botanical Garden, Inc. PRA Group employees worked in groups across the gardens' massive 158-acre campus to pull weeds, pick up litter and assist with vital maintenance projects like repairing flowerpots to house thousands of bulbs, which play a vital role in providing sustenance to pollinators. Teams of volunteers like this helped Norfolk Botanical Garden plant over 13,000 bulbs last year. PRA Group employees around the world have been helping to make a difference in the environments where we live and work all summer long. Read more about our volunteer efforts over the past year: https://lnkd.in/eiUE9AiQ #PRAGroup #GlobalReach #LocalTouch #PRAImpact #SocialResponsibility
