GUESS WHO IS SPONSORING THE 2024 LA NATIVE PLANT GARDEN TOUR THIS YEAR? 🤭   You didn't see THAT coming, DID you? (or maybe you did 🤣) 🌿💎🪴 The Olympia Collective is a proud sponsor of the 21st Annual Native Plant Garden Tour happening April 13-14 in Los Angeles hosted by by Theodore Payne Foundation. This is a self-guided, two day tour of selected West and East LA native gardens containing at least 50 percent native plants. Since 2003, more than 700 public and private landscapes have been featured on the tour, ranging from coastal container gardens to modernist foothill estates to experimental urban homesteads. Each garden is a harmonious creation of Southern California’s climate, soil, natural vegetation, and native wildlife in one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots. If you are wondering where this came from, we’re starting to get intrigued by how nonprofits can learn from nature to GROW, CULTIVATE, NURTURE, and PROPOGATE donors and revenue. We're so convinced of this connection that we’re ALL IN for growing our knowledge of all things plant-related. In fact, Olympia is now obtaining her Certificate of Horticulture from the UCLA Extension.  And we’ll be at both days of the Native Plant Garden taking in observations about how love and nurturing can grow more than just gardens. West side gardens are featured on Saturday, and East side gardens on Sunday. You can find out more at https://lnkd.in/gPCfnB6T. So, maybe it’s time to think about this: How does YOUR donor garden grow? 🌱 #nativeplantgardentour #theolympiacollective #sayhello #corevalues #health #trust #teamwork #connection #fun #generosity #growth #nonprofitconsultant #nonprofitfundraising #fundraising #fundraiser #fundraisingcounsel #gratitude #horticulture #cultivate #cultivation #nativeplants #californianatives #donorgarden

WE'VE GOT LOTS OF HOPE FOR 2024! ✨ 💎 The Olympia Collective has added another gem to our team! Meet Hope Bang, our undergraduate intern for Spring 2024. Hope is a junior at Oly's alma mater, Vanderbilt University, studying Human & Organizational Development and Sociology. We are lucky to have her through April as she completes her capstone project, a requirement of her major. She has a sincere passion for all things social justice, community service, and performing arts. Looking forward to her time with the Collective, Hope is most excited to delve into the nonprofit space and learn about all the ways business can intersect with social change. And also learning how to make punny jokes from Oly. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 She will be helping us with our long time client, @allstarsprojectinc while taking care of other VIPs and our Advisory Council. No dry cleaning pickups or boring desk work here! We treat Hope like family, the same way we encourage our clients to treat their donors. 🙌🏼 #theolympiacollective #sayhello #corevalues #health #trust #teamwork #connection #fun #generosity #growth #nonprofitconsultant #nonprofitfundraising #fundraising #fundraiser #fundraisingcounsel #gratitude #welcome #newteammember
