Planting trees is one of the most important things we can do to help the environment. Trees are the lungs of the planet, cleaning the air we breathe and absorbing carbon from the atmosphere. Trees provide habitat for birds, animals, plants. They filter the water we drink and also provide us with medicine.

Sequoia are an endangered species, threatened by climate change and fires in their natural southern locations. They will grow and thrive here in our environment in the Pacific Northwest, which is why we’ve chosen to plant a grove for the future.

The project is possible through generous patrons who sponsored trees in memory of loved ones. A plaque in the gardens will hold the names of those whose memory the sequoias were planted in.

Planting one sequoia will offset the carbon for one human’s entire lifetime.

This long-term legacy environmental art project, created by award-winning artist and co-creator of Alchemy Farm, Ingrid Koivukangas will continue to grow and change for decades, if not centuries. The project will create habitat for wild beings from the plant, animal and unseen worlds. The Sequoia, along with the entire gardens, will sequester carbon to help mitigate climate change.
