CULTIVATING SUSTAINABILITY
Caring for our Communities Sustainable practice is a core belief for Blue Diamond . We are strongly committed to caring for our planet and being good stewards of the land we farm. Along with this, we are committed to being good neighbors in our communities. As this year’s focus for Earth Day was “Invest in Our Planet” our three sites invested in community events that reinforce our culture of sustainability. But more than just being good neighbors, Earth Day is about investing in the future, and leaving the planet in a healthy state for the next generation.

Day in the Dirt On April 20, three shifts totaling about 60 team members, visited The GreenHouse Educational Garden in Sacramento (one of Blue Diamond ’s 2021 Community Grant recipients) to get their hands dirty for a good cause! The team built planter beds, cleared debris, spread mulch, weeded, and helped local children pick and plant vegetables. The GreenHouse staff expressed their gratitude and that Blue Diamond ’s visit has paved the way for a successful gardening season for their young students.
We are still basking in the glow from our garden workday with Blue Diamond. This great investment of time, people-power, and energy helps us take the next step in our Educational Garden programming. We’re already scheduling new family cooking and gardening workshops for the summer so parents and families can harvest, cook, and enjoy fresh produce together. Thank you again, Blue Diamond, for your hands-on investment in our community’s health and well-being! -Rena Crocker, Executive Director, The GreenHouse
