🌿💚 Celebrating Earth Day with a Touch of Green at FFT! 🌎🌱

As part of our Monthly Staff Appreciation, we’re thrilled to bring back a crowd favorite from last year – plants for everyone! There’s nothing like the gift of a little greenery to brighten our days and our spaces, especially when it comes from the wonderful local .

At Food for Thought, being a woman-owned company, we find it particularly meaningful to celebrate Mother Earth by nurturing the environment and showing appreciation to our incredible team. These plants are not just decor; they are a symbol of growth and vitality, much like the nurturing and thriving environment we aim to foster here every day.

Thank you to our amazing staff, the best in the business, for all that you do. Here’s to many more years of growth, both in our gardens and within our FFT family! 🌼🌿
