I prefer to talk about planting flowers and helping the planet but I can’t do that if I die at the hands of some untrained rogue government agent for exercising my rights.
For clarity: I am not interested in working with or for people who support this attempted dictatorship; I don’t think our values align in any way whatsoever. I hope to never be contacted by anyone that carries so much hatred in their heart.
My company is doing good things for the Earth and all of its occupants, starting with the smallest creatures. By supporting the pollinators that are the building blocks of the food chain, we are supporting all forms of life.
Additionally, the entire American horticulture industry is built on the backs of immigrant labor. The plants that I install in my client gardens are grown by hard-working people that come to this country on an H1B visa to work. Without them, I don’t have a business. I will always take the side of immigrants over the side of ignorant, racist, white people. Because a few generations back, my family were the immigrants that were treated poorly.
Many people don’t know that this company was started with nothing but the help of my grandpa. He was my mentor. He’d let me borrow his truck to do landscape projects and we spent a lot of time together. I’ve chosen to carry forward the lessons taught to me by my devoutly anti-fascist WWII vet grandfather. He fought N***s in hand-to-hand combat and still believed in the good of humanity until his last breath.
His instructions will always echo in my memory, they’ve served me well thus far: “Be Good To People”
There’s really nothing else that matters.
