Canadian florist Megan Davis donates to Lemon Tree Trust on Mothers Day
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Megan Davis, owner of Vancouver-based flower business Perennial Gatherings, for her generous donation to Lemon Tree Trust. Megan contributed a portion of the profits from bouquets sold over Mother’s Day weekend.
Perennial Gatherings offers seasonal floral subscriptions, one-off bouquets and custom floral arrangements, enhancing milestone events, celebrations and everyday moments with purpose-driven blooms. Megan’s support helps further our mission and we are deeply grateful for her kindness and community spirit.
Furthermore, Megan’s donation will be automatically doubled, thanks to match funding from one of our most generous supporters as part of our Gawilan Community Garden Appeal. This match funding amplifies the impact of her contribution, helping us make an even greater difference to survivors of war living in Gawilan refugee camp.
