Perennial Gatherings donates to Lemon Tree Trust
Many thanks to Megan Davis at Perennial Gatherings for her generous donation this May, the latest in a series of kind contributions to Lemon Tree Trust over the years.
Perennial Gatherings is a Vancouver-based floral studio and social enterprise, specialising in thoughtfully curated arrangements made with locally grown, seasonal blooms. Profits from floral sales are directed towards charitable causes Megan is proud to support, with a commitment to treading lightly on the planet and being mindful of the environmental impact of the cut-flower industry.
We are grateful to Megan for her ongoing support and to her customers, whose purchases have made these donations possible.

The appeal is raising funds to help families displaced by war grow gardens beside their shelters, bringing food, shade and beauty to refugee and IDP (internally displaced people) camps.
