City Plants has given me that and more. I’ve been able to work on everything from outreach strategies and fundraising to event planning and content design. Oneof the most rewarding parts was helping prepare for the 2025 Arbor Day Celebration, where I helped create infographics and messaging to promote donations and community engagement. Seeing the event come together and knowing I helped support it was meaningful and rewarding.
