On a picture-perfect gardening day, Tuesday, October 12, 2021, the Joseph P Cory Foundation (JPCF) and The School District of Palm Beach County’s Transportation Facilities (SDPBC) planted the first of four Gardens of Hope, to kick off a new employee wellness initiative.
This project was the collaborative efforts of Nada Cory, Founder and President of the Joseph P Cory Foundation, and Carlye Fabrikant, the Employee Wellness Coordinator for The School District of Palm Beach County; a like-minded partnership, that began over the summer, when the JPCF delivered a series of virtual health and wellness lectures to district employees.
Today, the Royal Palm Beach site, proudly positioned their free-standing garden bed, materials were brought out, and tools distributed. Those participating, were privy to the expertise and experience of Mrs. Cory, as they were shown how to plant and tend to their future bounty. As all the site gardens continue to flourish, follow up presentations and projects are planned, to support and augment garden education.
Your business might just have such a space that is ready to impact your employees in a significant way, or perhaps you would like to sponsor a school or community garden. Contact the foundation and find out how! For more information call: 561.501.3438 or 561.741.1359.
