NEW MERCH

Saplings are donated to the group often and randomly throughout the year. Caring for trees is the hardest part of the art. We give you as much insight as possible but it's best to have a handful of trees to start.
Our merch store is small but filled with incredible finds throughout the year. If we sell out and you still want something, don't think twice to reach out to us.
