In Case You Missed It…. New Living Wall Brings Good Vibes and an Organic Touch to Penticton Office
Message from Nanette Drobot, Regional Director, Interior Region I wanted to express my gratitude to the Interior Team. It has been a year full of change, learning and growth. So many people coming into the BC Housing Interior family this year with different skills and abilities, unique stories about where they have come and where they wish to go. In the end, what unites us is a very keen desire to do our collective best and to make a difference. The work on the living wall is an example of that. We have all benefited from that living wall – it is a joy for those who work at it everyday and those who walk by it. It represents life and hope. It is beautiful no matter what the day is like. My granddaughter also represents life and hope, and I couldn’t miss an opportunity to also express gratitude for her.
Earlier this year, the Penticton regional office underwent a refresh of its living wall just in time for the summer season. In May, seven employees volunteered their time to plant and pot close to 200 plants, ranging from spider plants, zebra plants, baby rubber plants, Christmas cactus, ferns, pothos, and a selection of fragrant herbs. The living wall renovation was championed and organized by Baizid Muhammad, Financial Review & Budget Analyst and member of thelivegreen council.
